I have bought a what I thought was a vr ss. On further inspection the vin references 'USL' which is vs. All details appear to be Vs. booster. air bos. powered steering pump. but the dash and interior is from a vr ss. the body is dated march 1995.

Don't think the engine or covers are original.

my query is should I be changing the dash pad and interior to a vs ss or could it be a vr/vr hybrid change over...

Pictures are really needed, VR/VS S1 Exec level Commodores (which the SS is based off) didn't have airbags, and apart from that the non airbag dash boards are identical anyway. Very little changed initially from the VR to VS (including under the bonnet of the V8), and it was mainly to do with the V6.

'USL' in the VIN just means (U)V8/(S)1995/(L)Adelaide Plant, nothing specifically about a VS. Look at the VIN decoder thread - digits 4& 5 will specifically say VR or VS: https://forums.justcommodores.com.au/threads/commodore-vin-decoder-vb-to-zb.279978/

Except for VS S1 BT1 with SS interior which had dual airbags.

Yeah, I shoulda said 'as standard'. BT1 is just another option code for a bunch of stuff like that really.
