factory leather wrapped steering wheel

Are the factory leather wrapped steering wheels, regular wheels that are wrapped?

If one were to cut the stitching and remove the leather wrap, would the underlying synthetic wheel be in "perfect" condition?

My 87 GXL (two spoke wheel) was like this. I cut the factory leather to reveal a "real" foam steering wheel, complete with textured surface and everything.
