Interesting,

And I didn’t no placement changed, is there a model year that the placement changed so I can check it out?

And, did you solve the mystery of the different size wiper arms?

South African and Australian Vanagons (Kombis/Transporters) definitely had mirror imaged front wipers compared to the US. I would not be surprised if the SA/Australian rear wipers were mirrors of their fronts, I just haven’t been able to find any photos to demonstrate that.
