William,

I figured as much.  These campers Westfalia branded.   The cabinetry - in fact, everything below the ceiling - is the same as a pop-top.  I also suspect (from the 1.6L TD) they may have been Euro models that were imported into Qu�bec and not generally available here in Canada.  {this is not an uncommon pattern here and why you will find the odd TDi EuroWesty in Qu�bec as well}.
