I thought all the '85s sold in North America had round headlights and the
rectangular headlights didn't come to North America until 1986 when the
engine switched from 1.9l to 2.1l. The side markers may have been removed or
accidentally omitted at the factory.

BTW, in Mill Valley, California I occassionally see a light blue Transporter
single cab pickup with diesel engine. I talked to the owner once and I think
he said it was a 1985 and had been imported from Germany by a friend.
