Ran into two of those vans here in the denver area.  Both were sold by the
same dealership that sold mine originally.  Tynans vw.  Talked with the
owner of one that was still the orig owner of the vehicle.  It was purchased
by his father for the family business and came with no seats in the back and
no sliding windows.  "carrier" was another name for "cargo" van.  Van was
also available with seats though I am told that on most of these variants
the seats were added later.
