Since the air outside the van is moving, I would expect air to flow OUT of
those rear vents when the van is moving.  Is it certain that they are
intake vents?  Which direction is the air supposed to be flowing?  If out,
scoops would be trying to reverse the flow.

The rear vents have always been for intake.  They provided the cool air
inlet for the air cooled models 80-83.5.  When the Wasser debuted, they
provided cooling air for the ECU (left side) and fresh air intake for the
air cleaner (right side).
