My 60-70 "WIthout Guesswork" gives no mention of any engines 
without a letter prefix, so I guess it's not going to be any help here.

Muir's "Complete Idiot" mentions numbers in this series for both 
type 2 and 3.

Okay, different topic. Here's the complete text off the strange 
muffler, read and reproduced as best I can:

------------
Walker
------------
I vp  V82
VW 1500S-1600A-L-TL
Variant 1500S - 541
Baui ab Aug 1964
Typz KBA 10270
Made in W Germany
Teil Nr. 
	2082 - 50
	I       84

I understand most of this, but I don't know why there is an "i" at the 
end of Baui or a z at the end of Typz. I vp, KBA and 541 don't 
mean anything to me, either. I'm guessing that 84 is the year it 
was made.

All the type 3 Walker mufflers I ever bought were labeled "MADE IN 
W. GERMANY C21674" where 21674 was the Walker part #.
