Hello all. Are the kingpins and bushings in the Kubelwagen that same as a split window? Thanks in advance!

Not the same. Kübel has the same kind like Type2.

Nearly "YES", but there are also different kubel parts over the years of production. Kubel, type 51 and barndoor busses shared some parts, but not all of them.

You also can have a look at VW:

But at VW, not all parts for barndoors till 2´55 are shown and listed.

Just to compare or overview, post war 1945 beetle and type 51, which has the later kubel front end:

Suggest to have a look for earlier kubel parts in JESUS thankful samba archive (a little donate wouldn´t be wrong):
