Used to have a 325 cab and it had headrests on the rear seats. Looking at buying another cab as i miss it and the one in question doesnt have headrests ( nor does it have holes to put them in so they are not missing). Were they an option ? Can they be retro fitted ? ...thinking i could get hold of the rear seat backrest with headrests fitted and swap ?

Structural support is already there. Just needs a few plastic bits and holes cut in the cloth/leather at the top of the seat.
Almost certainly in the wiki.
