How come you swapped the peanut blinkers for late ones?
although they do look like they sit too far back to be originally peanut style, also ties in with a lack of a wolfsburg crest, must be late 63 early 64?

C'mon kids gather round,
there's a new sensation hitting town,
It's moving straight, low to the ground,
it'll pick you up when your feeling down.
