A wolf (appearing to be a cross between Rampant and Salient) associated with VW?
Maybe this has something to do with it:

"The use of the wolf is quite common in German heraldry. The Arms of Passau in Bavaria show a red wolf rampant on a white shield. These arms have been used by the town since the early 15th century and may have originally belonged to the Bishop of Passau, who depicted a wolf as part of his arms. This device later became the trademark of a brand of steel goods made locally.

In Saxony, the family of von Wolfersdorf used a black wolf rampant on a yellow shield. The crest is a sitting wolf surrounded by a coronet. This is probably another example of the use of "canting" arms.

The arms of the Counts von Brandenstein-Zepplin depict a green wolf grasping a dead swan in its jaws on a yellow shield. The crest of the family's arms has the same device.

The arms of Hans Wolf von Bibelspurg show a wolf facing to the left, but on his marriage to Catharina Waraus at Augsburg in 1507, their shields were placed side by side and the wolf was reversed so that the charges on the two shields "respect" each other. This practice is frequently met with in German heraldry."

P60, VWMA issue 4
"The Wolf is cast in bronze with a farily thin cross section. the VW emblem is made of brass rod and soldered together with a couple of large mounting screws in poor fashion.""Few were ever made, and each individually marked" numbered by the lines on the chest. probably made in NSW, matches scout boys banner poles
