Yes that is an early Split Window microbus or whatever they were called back then...
as the windscreen goes right to the roof line...
no air vents above the windscreen,,

I presume the front two windows were added , and I'm also assuming ALL the roof windows were added by someone other than VW...

I may be wrong, but I can't remember seeing any roof windows in Kombis until late 50's

it may have been built for a HOTEL etc...??
can't read the emblem on the nose..

Nice Pic where did you find it?
Thats a Barndoor or early T2. Up to 1953 1/2.
As Lee said the two front windows arent originals at least I have never seen them B4.
