"CENTRE SECTION SEAT BUCK"
It's form a car advertising brochure. I suppose it doesn't refer to a car - rather to the structure of the brochure since there is "TECHNICAL INFORMATION - CENTRE SECTION" given in the Contents.

seat supporting frame


Explanation:
Origin: from "buck" - "body of a cart" (mid 19th cent. perhaps from obsolete word "bouk" - belly, body). Related to buckboard, an open horse-drawn carriage with four wheels and seating attached to a plank streching between the front and rear axles.

sub-assembly


Explanation:
Thanks to Gayle,

http://www.khulsey.com/reference.html

shows a breakdown of the various sub-assemblies. HOWEVER, the photos are out of synch. Fig 3 should be fig 5, and 4 & 5, 3 & 4.
Viewing it this way, it all makes sense.
