It is an early '86.  I actually picked it up at the Westfalia factory - but
it has American specs. It was part of a European Tourist Delivery Program.
If these items aren't at the 'D' pillar can you tell me where they would be?

Some early '86 Westy air conditioning was dealer or port of entry
installed using units that are identical to the '85 types.  If that is
what you have then there won't be anything relating to the A/C in the D
pillar.
