In looking for all the parts online for updating my beetle, I ran across this on the Cip1 site concerning the shift Rod length (read below). Maybe the PO bought the shorter rod for a later beetle and welded on the extra piece to the shift coupler to make up for the shorter shift rod.
"This shift rod is a Genuine VW new shift rod. These are the same shift rods sold by our competitors and they all state that this rod fit Beetle/Ghia from 1968 to 1979. THIS IS INCORRECT, there were 2 different lengths of shift rods used in these years. From 1968 to 1972, the shift rod was longer and measured 45-1/8 inches long. In 1973, VW moved the shifter position back a small amount and from 1973 to 1979, the shift rods where 43-5/8 inches long. Since the 68-72 shift rod is not available, many customers purchase this later version and lengthen it to fit. "
