I enlarged the photo to get a closer look at some details. This is a tan
side panel and table from a poptop Westy Wolfy of 85/86/87. It has been
force fitted into a tan interior passenger model. If you look closely at
the rear of the side panel you can see a number of extra screws holding
the panel to the wall (where the rear seat back meets the rear seat
bottom.) There is a stress buckle from this in the side panel at the
back edge of the rear armrest recess. This was done because this type of
plastic side panel needs a special narrower rear bench/bed and they did
not have one and they had to improvise. I wonder if the bed can even be
folded out with this setup. Another clue is the small exposed metal area
at the lower left area of the side panel where it meets the below seat
kick panel. The correct lower kick panel for this side panel sticks out
farther and would cover this spot.

The jump seat upholstery must have been dyed or recovered as these only
came in one of 3 different grey based fabric styles AFAIK.
