Yes they came to Australia as a Windowed Van.  The side panels were fitted
with a single piece of glass.  I removed mine and replaced with sliders.  I
still have the one piece glass for the middle and rear panels.  The Glass is
genuine VW and carries the logo at the bottom of the panes.

Can't help you with the frame you refer to.  There was no frame fitted to
the fixed glass.  Mine were fitted into the cut-out panels with just the
rubber seal.  This kept them in place very effectively.  When I retro fitted
the sliding windows I used the rubber seal from the original fixed panes to
secure the new sliders.  This means that the window size is approximately
the same dimensions as the aluminium frame around the sliders.

My Van is a late 1991 manufacture. Hope this answers your question.

(middle) - - - mine of course has a slider window . . . and all the pics
I've seen do too  .. . . can't remember if any were made with non-sliding
glass - - - would really like this frame so I can put in non-opening glass .
