For reference, it IS possible to use the "3rd row" bench in the second-row position by swapping over the seatbelt receiver hardware and trim pieces. When I was experimenting with my bed solutions, I tried both the 2nd and 3rd row benches (3rd row has the sliders), and the most I was able to get was about 15" from the front edge of the bench to the back of the driver's seat, using the sliding bench in the rear-most position. (Only a problem if you planned to use the original benches). Second, the additional bummer is that the factory locations for the benches don't correspond to your drawings. If your bed is a full 72", it's going to be more like a foot and a half, depending on how tall you are. I am 5'6" and with the driver's seat in normal position, I think I have about 90 inches from the back doors to the driver's seat.
