Deffo RHD as the plates are Jersey registered. Not East Coast USA, but a small Island off the South Coast of England or just off the North Coast of France, depending how you look at it!

Other clues are the other cars in the photo. Not sure maybe a MG Magnette or maybe Riley?
Poster's address is a clue, too, Jersey, C.I, would be CHANNEL ISLANDS.
About as many cars as Catalina Island, CA, I'd guess. (Which, btw had a very nice DC back in the 80's)
So yes, RHD double cab had a back seat door on the LEFT (OFFSIDE) of the vehicle.

| Yes the photo was taken at St Ouens bay Jersey Channel Islands . It is a fantastic surf beach especially in the winter months , I scanned the pic from a book about the local surf scene through the years and the guys on the roof of the DC where apparently watching a surf comp . The area is unchanged so I might try and recreate the photo for fun when my DC is finished! More pics with this link https://www.facebook.com/CLASSICMOTORWORKS?hc_location=timeline |

Looks like a reconfigured 23 going by the back seat luggage bar. Doesn't look lik eit started out as a HASEWAGA. Maybe a REVELL reissue?

Cool bus reggaeman.
If i understand correctly, this was the one model that wasnt produced in Brasil (but it was many years later available as a bay window model).
I read that there are only 3 Split DC´s in Brasil so it looks like your one of the three!!!
Parabens cara.

Were bay window pickups (or any VW pickups) ever produced anywhere but in Germany, aside from TKD kits?

Unfortunately no, just a photo I saw the user Pogel post in the Gallery.
He typically grabs all the photos off eBay but I couldn't find it there.

Did some VWs come with just White ribbed bumpers and not Two-Toned like most of the ones you see today?? Maybe a Commercial vs Standard, Deluxe thing? |

Early '59 Buses, up to October, 1958 still had ribbed bumpers but the ribbed bumpers were painted solid Silver White.
