I'm pretty sure the 76B can be fitted with an STC that allows a 12-person seating configuration that would not be out of place in a VIP interior.
The 76C and D have seating configurations for up to 8 individual crash-worthy seats plus the four-person bench on top of the fuel cell. These are not plush cushioned leather armchairs, but the latest seats would pass in a VIP/airliner interior. Removing one seat nearest the door allows for much easier loading/unloading without having to tilt any seats. I doubt improper seating was allowed here.
