>>> Is this simply dirty or is the leather damaged
See picture #1 - the split needle holes suggest the that leather is too dry and is rejuvenated with Hydrator-3.3 > Fatliquor-5.0 > Hydrator-3.3 system to fervent further crackings
>>> and discoloured?
The white patches is most likely the lost of the color finishes - when leather becomes too dry of its original fatliquor the exterior surface weakens and the fibrils exfoliates - Repairs will need Impregntor-26 to strengthen the leather structure prior to refinishing with Adhesor-73 > Micro-54 (custom matched) > MicroTop-54S > Protector-B+/B.
>>> How hard would this be to restore to original?
The pigment coloring and topcoating will need a Paasche airbrush application for professional result.
