The kombi looks real similar to mine. I am guessing it is a 73 given the high indicators and forward tilting westy conversion? The only obvious differences are the colour of the curtains and the fact that mine has white headlights and yours chrome but all this could have been changed later.

How old are the photos? Any other distinguishing features that you know of? I would be interested to know too if it was once yours as I have not been able to find out much about its history.

If the oval had a single exhaust tip with no cutouts for twin pipes in the rear apron it's a 55 or earlier! twin pipes came out in 56.
