That's a standard Rabbit clutch and flywheel. It's a strange setup with the
pressure plate bolted to the crankshaft and the flywheel on the outside.
Clutch release is done with a rod that pushes in the ceneter of the input
shaft and activates the pressure plate on the other side of the disc.

You'll want to use the 1.6 flywheel (it should bolt up) and clutch. Don't
forget to get a pilot bearing for the center of the crankshaft because the
1.9 probably won't have one.
