My '87 2WD uses the N blank and that works on the ignition, all doors and the gas cap.

 For the record, I am in possession of about eight 1993-2002 T3 (Vanagon in South Africa) Caravelle OEM fuel caps. They are the full cover style common on 2WD Vanagons and all use the 'N' profile ignition/door key profile.
