Retrofitting the Ford airbag gubbins to an Omega seat and bolting it in would technically be doable.
But...
At best, in an accident, the airbags/seat pretensioners might not work. At worst they might work incorrectly and potentially kill the person in the seat.
So the question you should be asking isn't could it be done?, but rather is it really worth doing?
The answer is no.
A much better solution, for several reasons, would be to find a.set of nice seats from a similar vintage Mundeo TittyX. You might need to swap the rails over, but it should retain full functionality without any drama.
