if you can get the chassis number, it will help. but it sounds like the oval body that the old man use to have which had the bigger window cut in to
it.

what years did the oval dash come out with a square back window

None, but it might be one of the ovals that got the modernising process of fitting a big back window.
That used to happen alot..
Or it may just be a big window dash smoothed off

Square thing to the left of the speedo is most likely an old period fuel gauge that was availble back then, and the other round thing to the right is
another gauge probably temp or ammeter.
It wasnt uncommon for people to bog over the semaphores and fit later indicators, seen several like that over the years
All ovals had the ignition key on the very right hand side of the radio where this one does, it was only big window cars that have them on the left.

In the late '50s, early '60s - when I worked for a VW dealer -
we had to fit the 'big window' turrets to oval Beetles, when the original turrets became un-available.
As spares became obsolete; such as the front guards with the steel wiring tube, we had to use whatever new parts were available. NRMA Insurance had a
policy of replacing damaged parts with new parts only.
Cheers, Greg
I'd rather wear a Beetle out by racing it than by polishing it!

As were RHD for that matter
