Please help identify this radio

Hello VW Gurus.

Hoping someone can help identify what model this radio is from.

It's Australian supplied.

I thought it might be early Type 3 but to be honest, I have no idea.

Note the angle on the side of the fascia.

Thank you.

Type 3 may be right from memory the early ones mounted under the centre section of the dash.
