Does anyone have solid photos of front/back Volkswagen mechanic jumpers or uniforms?

I'm looking to recreate my own, preferably from 1968 and up. But, I'm interested in seeing the evolution of the mechanic outfit and choosing the one I like best to recreate. Any photos from brochures or personal photos from back in the day?

I'll post photos along the way once I settle on a design so you folks out there can DIY too!

Thanks

Wow ! Interesting to see the Jim Kelly's VW items. I worked in the body shop there in 1974-76, don't recognize the guy in the photo Confused
Here is my best score from there a 1958 Bus matchbox that held ten packs of matches and showed the dimensions of the Bus.
