That hatch door could be a "coachbuilt" custom done in Germany.  There were
many outfits like Westfalia for instance that did a number of custom body
building variations for the commercial Type 2 and not just campers alone.

After celebrating the 30th anniversary of my divorce acouple of weeks ago
(she took me for almost everything except my 73 K Ghia I bought new), I
often find myself NOT missing a GF or SO ;-)  I always figured it was a
normal thing for me to be alone......My sister has said on many an
occasion that I will never have a GF or SO because I'm just too sensitive
and nice of a guy (yeah,right - I can hear the guffaws permeating and
reverberating all through the T1 and Broadband connections now).  My
philosophy is "It's their loss".  My motto:  "Friends Only, period".
Besides, after the first fiasco, I realized true love is always unrequited.
My best relationship in the past 30 years was with my cat (may she rest in
peace).
