Don't think they will pass IVA, there needs to be a form of head restraint.

Ahh Section 15 Seat Strength

"6. A system of head restraint must be fitted on every outboard front seat."

With regard to the headrest, my slightly shorter friend sat in the car tonight and his head was on the headrest on the seat.
I may just fabricate a pad that comes down from the roll bar to satisfy the IVA tester.

Sounds like a good idea to satisfy iva tester, if your friends head was on the seat the harnesses must have been around his ears!

If you have a fixed head restraint the seats also have to be non-adjustable
