Certainly type 2s got 1500cc engines, as did type 1s, but IMO it's 
not a type 3 unless it has the fan mounted on the crankshaft with 
the generator/alternator on the left side of the fan housing.

I realize that the type 3s were first introduced as the VW 1500, but 
this was simply because at that time we were the first with that 
HUGE displacement. Others followed.
