Can anyone confirm if the 1970 Westfalia had the Westfalia stickers on the front and back of the pop top roof and luggage rack?

Those didn't come along until the 1979 model, the 1970 had small prancing horse stickers at the front end of the luggage rack.
Here's the same part on a 74+ model:

How about an image from the 1979 brochure?, VW liked to recycle images, they couldn't even bother to add the big stickers to this one from the previous few years. Look closely at the lower rear corner of the luggage rack.

They are all here: https://www.thesamba.com/vw/archives/lit/type2_2.php , but beware, as already mentioned they liked to recycle, some pictures show models from a year or two earlier.

The large black Westfalia sticker first appeared on the rear of the pop-top in 1979. It did not appear on the front until the 1980 Vanagon. (Which had it on the back too.)

Bay windows bus Westies never had the Westfalia sticker on the front of the pop-top, contrary to what a lot of people think or do.
