I've always thought that toilet seats like that were standard design for a shared male/female bathroom so that when a guy pees and it gets on the seat (and he's too lazy to wipe it off) then girls won't have to worry about getting pee on themselves when they sit down.

∙ 8y agoYou will hardly believe it, but this is formally laid down in The International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials' Uniform Plumbing Code. The idea behind it, the Code goes on to explain, is that a) it facilitates front-side wiping by women and b) it reduces the risk of urine contamination by men who can't be bothered to lift the seat first.
In the privacy of your own home you are free to chose a closed closet seat if you want and a plumbing official will in that case be happy to forget his Code (and who knows, maybe even his oath) and install it for you.

Where can you purchase an upholstery kit for split front seats of a 1973 Plymouth Duster?
try manciniracing.com and see if they offer it.
Commercial or public toilet seats are elongated and split in front for better hygiene and ease of cleaning. Why this design is not universally applied ie not used in homes?
Because it is assumed that home toilets are not used nearly as often, and cleaned alot more. Also it is assumed you don't have 20 people living in your house using the same toilet without cleaning it, and there will be much less spread of germs because fewer people are using the fixture. Your exposed to alot more germs in a house then you could ever get from a toilet seat. Think kitchen countertops and dishes. And that bed that's never been turned or cleaned.

Toyota 1.8 corolla 1981 where i can find seats front and back?
You probably won't be able to find any. Most salvage yards will not keep something that old when it is not something special. The fabric on Toyota's from 1981 tends to split especially on the top edges where sun shines on it. It is unlikely that there are any seats anywhere to replace what you have. You could probably replace the front ones with newer seats by either drilling new holes in the floorboards or transferring the seat to the old runners.
