They do seem a bit off to be bamboo though. Did they offer bamboo in 81?

Well, it doesn't look like Palomino to me now that gatorblue92 has mentioned the word Bamboo. The front seats aren't really secured very well, so maybe they have been replaced ???? BUT.....and here is my disclaimer:
I don't do color very well. I grew up (as a kid) with knowledge of your 7 basic colors --- red, green, blue, black, white, purple, and yellow. School buses were yellow then; Stop Signs were red with white letters; and stop signals (traffic now) had red, yellow, and green.
Here's an interesting thread discussing color:

Since the front seats have the pointy ear headrests, can someone contribute when those were no longer used? If you look at this:

I would definitely say these seats do not seem like color code 134 Palomino; the seats would seem to be much closer to color code 104 Bamboo found in the 1972 - 1978 catagory.
Anyone want to run the VIN for me?
