Whoa! Back up the apple cart! I should have guessed that my "shorthand" might have caused confusion. I DO know the difference between a Type (or, auf Deutsch, Typ) I, II, III, & IV (and all their "variants"). In my illustration, I substituted the almost universal word "Transporter" for the term "Typ II" The notation I have seen (go to the "projektzwo" (http://www.projektzwo.de/) web page for an example) refers to the "vanagon" body style (I know it's not called that in Europe) as a T2 (which is to say Typ II, T2) and the "Eurovan" (I also know it's not called that in Europe) as a T4 (or Type II, T4). Yeah, I know. Usless drivel and all. But did projektzwo mess up? If not, what happened to the Typ II, T3? As for our NAFTA and sub-equatorial friends, I guess that the Brazilian splits could always be called Typ II, T1; the odd S.African Bay windows with the square side windows, clamshell doors, and "fishbowl" rear wrap-arounds could be called Typ II, T1.5; and the Mexican waterpumpers might be classed Typ II, T(H)2(0). -Blaine (smarter than the average bear)
