Macpherson strut front end with disc brakes on the struts as well with the spare tyre laying flat under the longer bonnet. They still have the flat
(ish) windscreen also.

1/71 to 3/73 in Aus.
But make sure it is actually an Sbug with flat windscreen and strut front end.
I've had a VW owner argue with me their car was an Sbug just cos the decklid said so even though it predated Sbug production by several years
