Seating will be the same on three versions. There will be a lot
less seats than now because LU insists on having 1000mm between
seats for wheelchairs to pass between them. So, you will have to
stand every day because someone might want to have a wheelchair on
the train once in the next 35 years!

I actually saw a wheelchair user (more like a powered golf buggy
really)
on a Jubilee Line train yesterday. There seemed to be enough room for
him in the area by the doors; I don't understand why there has to be a
metre between the seats.

In case s/he wanted to sit down?

LOL.

I suspect the reason is to do with emergency evacuation.
