Gents

I have looked every where
Does anyone have a layout of what rating fuse goes where for a 1958 Beetle?

While the manual doesn't state directly, it does show them all in white (which is 8amp) The manual page on the linked-to manual above isn't the greatest, the one from the next year is exactly the same though and a clearer scan, shown below. I have no idea why they say you need "8/15 amperes" fuses. I don't think that VW used anything but white 8-amp fuses on Bugs until 1966.
