Every pressure sensor had a Bosch part #, but only those sold thru 
the VW distribution network also got the VW number. The first 2 
sensors on your list are the same part, but only one came thru the VW 
network. Those sensors are the correct ones for 72-3 type 3s.

All type 3 pressure sensors begin "311", the 022s are for type 4s or 
Porsche 914s. 

I had to look up the Bosch 007 one, there are too many Bosch numbers 
to memorize. That one turns out to be for a 70-1 type 3.

They may look the same on the outside, but they are calibrated 
differently on the inside. Your #7 should have some slots in the 
cover which the E sensors don't have. Those have some additional 
parts inside as well.

I would be interested in the # 7 sensor, if it holds vacuum (ie, 
doesn't leak.) If it leaks, I'd still pay shipping to get it here.

72-3 used the late vacuum modulator: 003 325 391C, which is marked 
with a brown paint stripe.
