If there are any others, I've sure never heard of them. The 047F fits all
Vanagons. Any difference you may have noticed may have been a minor
difference in exact size from one brand to another, but the fit/application
is the same. I ship Febi or Lemforder (both German) as my "premium" brand
($14.95) and Micelli or LPR (both Italian) as my "budget" brand ($9.95).
Between all of those brands, there are very subtle differences in
size/shape, but so small that you'd have to compare them closely side by
side to even notice it.  There are also Brazilian, Mexican, Indian, and
Chinese ones out there. Perhaps some of them are smaller (I don't carry them
so I don't know), but theoretically they would all still physically fit.
