The 3 rear crew had inflating seat cushions (air at 1200 psi) to help them move upwards from their seats - the nav/radar & AEO seats swivelled to face the centre of the aircraft, the nav/plotter's was fixed.
Only in the B2s. In B1/B1A aircraft all three rear seats were fixed and there was no air-bag assistance.
