Not possible. Passenger seat in the UK is Driver seat in the EU. Seats are built different and seat belt would be on wrong side. Get a good passenger seat from a EU scrapyard and use that as a drivers seat. Their passenger seats are our drivers seats and visa versa. This is what I did

The seat belt must be on the outside or right had side of the seat to comply with law

as is the passenger side. But if you get your seat from a EU scrapyard the passenger seat of an EU truck is in the drivers side on the UK so it works very well

Check the underside of the seat pad to see if the fittings are the same
On FH4 you can swap the seat base over
