I recently had the interior panel off in the area in the right rear corner
of my 1984 Westfalia.  I was looking for a place to run a wire from the
inside to the outside for an antenna.  I found a shoulder belt mounting
point there!  It was the perfect size for me to slip my wire through.  But
anyway, to answer your question, Yes.  I haven't checked the side behind the
closet, but I would suspect there is one there as well.  Also, you can check
you own by removing the air grilles on the rear side of the van.  You will
be able to see the threaded hole in there.  That is how I got to the back
side of the hole to run my wire.  Finding that mounting point made me also
think about adding shoulder belts.  My first question though, was how to
deal with that closet for the left side passenger?  If you find any sources
for belts, please post because I think the shoulder belts would be a good
idea too.
