the "silver socket" only came on '74-'84 US model westfalias.  cant speak for
other countries, but '84 westy US model was the last year to get them.

i have a bunch of these "silver sockets" available from westys i've parted
out if anyone wants to add one to their vanagon.  i added one to my sunroof
van.. its got a john deere plug sitting in it now.  i have a little 12v dash fan i
wired another john deere plug to, and use the silver socket for powering
that..
