That would be part 124 251 051.  It seems to be identical to a Type 3 except
for the lack of heat exchangers - looks like pre-60 Beetle one with hot-spot
connection and no small heat exchangers, but I guess 1" isn't much on a
scale drawing in the parts book.  There's quite a bit of adjustment on the
two piece tailpipe -elongated hole on tailpipe and maybe a couple of inches
overlap on the two sections.

Since I seem forever tripping on the tail-pipe on a spare engine
as it sticks out too far, it would certainly make sense for an industrial
engine to have a different offset there.
I assume they may have had a totally different final ducting system for
fumes from many industrial engines.

Does yours have upper heat exchangers, Jim?  If so, it must just be a poor
repro.
