I do have a VW T3 sales brochure from 1992, probably the second year of the "big window" van and at this time the WBX is discontinued for I4 and I5 options and Syncro is not listed. My recollection is that at that time Syncro was in fact still available but somewhat on a special order basis....and ONLY with the 2.1 WBX!

So I don't really know what this thing is, either- other than I do want one, too.
