Among customers of mine who have bought just one or the other, I have
indeed noticed that a relatively high percentage end up ordering the
other one shortly thereafter. This is consistent with the experience of
our local VW mechanic, who specializes in Vanagons. (At any given time
you'll find several on his lot awaiting service.) He replaces them in
pairs.
