Not too uncommon in the UK, but pretty rare here in the States.

Not too uncommon here in Oz either. If memory serves me right, the
second sliding door for a T3 was a $995Aus option. An option that has
been available here ever since the splitties and continues thru the T4
and T5s of today. T4s and T5s also had/have the option of double rear
doors too for a similar cost.

The double sliding door option is usually found on T3 Transporter
models, particularly the panelvans and sometimes the window vans
workhorses for the obvious practicality of delivery and tradesman's
vehicles
The option was far less common on Caravelles although it is certainly
not unknown here.
