Recreating a Pattern on Auto Upholstery

[rl0089]

I'm a car guy and new to leather working, but hoping to learn enough to repair or replicate the interior in my current project which is a 2000 Saab 9-3 Viggen.  The Viggen was the sport model if it's time for the 9-3 and came with special leather seats and interior panels that, in some case, highlighted the exterior color of the car.  My car came in Lightning Blue and came equiped with black and blue leather, however the blue inserts are not just blue.  For lack of a better explanation, they look like they are blue leather panels with black "freckles".  I've heard some refer to this as a pebbled look but I'm not sure how accurate that is.  Another problem with this interior is the leather was prone to dry out and crack very quickly and easily.  I'm going to attempt to fix what I can but I may just start from scratch if I can replicate the pattern.  Here's a picture:

Thank you cradom, his videos will definitely come in handy for assembling the seats.

Anyone have any advice for tackling this pattern?

I can't determine if it was applied using some sort of applicator or if they had a template to somehow create these "dots" of black on top of the blue.  I'm thinking of getting some blue leather to test different application methods for the black dye.  If the grain is deep enough, I'm thinking I may be able to use something like the roller below to apply a very thin layer of dye.  Any other ideas?  Anyone on here an expert in dying leather?
