Vanagons of all years were either "L" or "GL" unless you have the
Wolfsburg Edition or an earlier Champagne Edition. Some late model vans
have fiberglass bumpers and the deluxe heated/power mirrors. I'm sure
that there are other options that I've never seen.
Vanagons came in standard 7 passenger.
Weekender models had a few amenities like queen size sleeper bed and
portable 12v refrigerator.
I've seen Westy Pop Tops with just the weekender package.
Some later models of weekender have a fold down table in front of the
rear facing jump seats.
So all in all it could be a very specific interior arrangement that came
in special order or just what the dealer preferred to sell in his
specific geographic location.
