I see your point about the rear covering, but I think it is
more likely that someone just recovered a bench seat and made
a bar that goes across the back.

Think about it, if this were really a VW item why would the
need the bar, they would have made the seatback adjustable.

If you need a rough translation go to:
http://babelfish.altavista.com/

The Altavista translation is:
Front seat passengers doppelsitzbank for all T2/T3 penalty to
install one-off production unused easily screw or weld with
Orig. Support rod with seat belts and arm rest for door. ONLY
COLLECTION!! NO DISPATCH

Thanks,
