Oh, duh. There is a picture of the wrap around metal bumpers on the red South
African Microbus at Vanagon.com...click on the "info" link and them scroll
down to "featured Vanagon" or maybe it's "featured vehicles" and then scroll
down to the red SA Vanagon. Or go directly to
http://www.volkswagen.org/vanagon/microbus.jpg
where there is a photo of the same bus with the same bumpers.
