Most likely Britax brand roof. The vinyl is simply 'tonneau' material used on every Holden ute since the 1960s. And as it is not 'moulded' in any way any motor trimmer should be able to replicate/replace

if it has a plastic handle odds on it is a Britax (after market)

If it has a chrome lever with Golde on it then it is an original VW rag

But i dont believe Supers in Aust ever came with Golde rags
The States i believe got Golde steel slides

no handles, top or locking mechanism fitted, just the gaping hole in the roof where it should be
