I believe that's actually a photo of the type 1 auto stick shift drive plate. 
Note that there appear to be 4 wing nuts securing it, instead of 3.

I had always assumed that this was just due to some US kiddy misnaming the 
part, but a glance at the VW microfilm shows that this is actually what they 
call it, too, at least in the US version of the microfilm.
