Two of them are the tall tail lights and the flat hub caps.  Not sure about a chrome strip around the belt line.  A lot of '68s and '69s had them but not sure if all non-Westy's did.  Another is the exhaust system.  The pre-'72s had a single outlet on the left.  The newer ones had the outlet on the right.

Haven't seen any of these in Illinois for a while ;-)

Naturally, the ad folks don't get the year right. That is a 1972 VW Bus, 
I'd say. It has at least 4 things not found on a stock 68. Anyone know 
what they all are?
