Yes they are, as all buses, regardless of year of manufacture, should have been equipped.
My opinion only. Of course.
Excellent photos of an excellent bus.

Wow, great info. Wonder where the 15 Window ended up? That area is so built up compared to those early days.
This is '09 at West Side show, I brought the Velvet Green Std., Chadly drove his 15 window.

Very cool, thanks for the link.
Lots of neat photos in there. Went to many VW shows at the old West Side location in the 80's and 90's.
Love the bullet hole 15 window on the pole.
