I think you will find it depends on the trim package/interior that came from
the factory.  Many earlier Vanagons will be marked on the back right
'VanagonL" and some "GL" but most later models I've seen are the GL trim
package.  "L" trim was rubber floor mats, no tach (analog clock instead) and
more Spartan interior trim all around.  GL trim package included carpets,
tach, digital clock, and fancier trim panels on the inside. I'm sure there
is someone out there that can come up with a brochure that lists exactly
what the GL option included.
