They did, as did most Vanagons of all vintages outside of the U.S. market.
On replacement, most people just go with the seal that does not take the
chrome trim, as the chrome trim adds to the cost and tends to age poorly.

I sell the genuine German seal for $39.95, which is the best price anywhere:
