I dissent. Looks like Tex to me. But the trim code will confirm which it is, Tex or leather. The trim code should also be available from the Russian VIN site (I think), but it is definitely listed on the metal plate on the front tie bar under the hood. It's a 3-digit number. If it starts with '1' it's Tex, if it starts with '2', it's leather. My Palomino Tex is trim code 174. What's yours?
