I have not seen those on a VW Bus.
I think they are originally from some other vehicle.

Does the back have a square portion at the base of the mounting stud?
All of the Bus reflectors have that so that they fit into the square hole in the Bus corner metal.
I believe all of the Bus backsides were painted black too.

This reflector has a broken stud but you can see the square part:

I notice the sticker on it says "jokon", that's the same company that made those goofy semaphore replacements with the bulbs in them.

Not saying they're correctly listed, but these looked very similar

Thanks guys for the replies they have a round threaded shaft not square.
They look exactly the same as the ones listed either way Barndoor or not I only payed $70 for them so looks like I got a bargain
