Help identifying what year this front seat is from

Hi,

I have a seat that seems either to be from an early T3 (air cooled) or maybe a later Bay Window bus. Anyone know for sure?

looks to me like a bay headrest.

are the little lever knobs for the seat back round knobs or levers?
round knobs would be bay

but it really don't matter a 76-79 bay seat fits fine in a 80+ vanagon

That's what was in my 82 diesel when I got it, though I guess it's possible that it was swapped in.

It has a lever to move the seat back so I guess it's from a Vanagon. But now I know they are interchangeable with later bay windows. THanks!

Hmm looking at the early sales brochures they do use that headrest in early models..
