I believe that the original Comet 2 had the same interior as the rebuilt Comet 1 with the orange fixed seats with the low back on the aisle seat. The Comet 3 had the same interior as the Arrows with the brown flip seats and faux wood panels.

The second Comet II order in 1988 (Comet IIB, built for Long Branch extension) had the rebuilt Comet I interior (both were at BBD in Barre, VT at that time).

AFAIK, the Comet III interior was the same from Day 1 to the end of service in 2009/2010. If you have ridden on a Shoreliner III on Metro-North, the interior is quite similar but for the seats being of the M-N non-flipping variety.
