This is an interesting question.  I may be totally wrong about this, but I
have seen some 1967 1600 "A" version TIII's with bullet front turn signals.
They were not 1968 models either.  The A version also had different rear
reflectors - not chrome, but painted - and the red bezel was not plastic.
Furthermore, the A lacked chrome in a lot of other places (no moustache
chrome on the front hood, no side body chrome amongst others), had a single
carbed engine, did not have a clock and had a different steering wheel than
the standard model.  There are some other things missing from this list,
but perhaps I am wrong.  A couple of years back there was an issue of
VolksWorld with a Norwegian Nothback that was an A type.  The article
listed a bunch of stuff about what was "missing" from the car as new.  I
will have to try to find the magazine.  I think it was the same issue that
had an article written by Andy Russo (fellow T3 listee and President of the
OZ T3 Registry) about a Volkswagen meeting Down Under.

A 1967 should not have a fuel filler door mounted on the fender.  Someone
has replaced the front fender with a later version

My 1967 Square's VIN starts with 367 ...

Just my 0.02 Finnish Marks worth.
