Thanks and best Regards from Switzerland,
michael

Hello from the UK, Michael.
Have a look at my post #2 on the thread below.
New seat cover - Vintage Enduro Discussions (yamaha-enduros.com)
HOWEVER! This is for a US seat, part number 498-24710. If yours is an original European bike, then it would have been fitted with a slightly longer seat (with a strap), part number 456-24730. Still, my photos might show the detail that you're after.
I believe that the 1974 to 1976 DT250, 360 and 400 all used the same seats in their respective markets.

thank you for the link.
I think it must be the european Version of the dt250a.
i try to share some pictures of the Seat:
Link to Dropbox
As you can see, the assembly on the frame is 19 cm and the two Hinges of the Seat have 21 cm

19cm is correct.
I don't know if it helps, but this looks like your wrong seat. Leboncoin is a French selling site, often with great bargains listed.

If you're happy to go with a single seat, for the time being at least, then this is currently for sale in the US.

Thanks!
Yes i'm pretty sure that i have the wrong seat...!
The Seat in France might work.
But the Owner sais, it comes from the Model DT125 19F (witch i can't find in cmsnl.com...)
Do you know if the seat of the DT125 19F Model fits my DT250A 1974?

NO!
I meant that the seat in France looks like the one that you already have - I was trying to help you identify it!
Translation issues, I guess.

From what I've seen and heard, the seats from Vietnam are a mixed bag.
More expensive, but KDI in the US make a replica of the (shorter than European) US seat. See link below, and there is also a link to their site on the right hand side of this page, just in case you want/need anything else at the same time.

texavina.com/yamaha-dt250-dt360-dt400-19...at-saddle-sku-l2027/
the shipping to switzerland is way more easy than shipping from the U.S. to switzerland.
hopefully the quality is right. i will let you know as soon as the seat is here and installed.
