its a syncro.    the SA caravelle/vanagon bodied vans have different
sheetmetal on the bodies than the german made vanagons. so they have a round
rear gas port rather than a square one like on the german made vans.  there
is no ridge above the beltline like on the vans made in germany.. and the SA
side middle and rear windows are bigger.  the only body part that seems to be
the same as the german made vans, is the rear hatch.
