The swing axles was retained on the 1600A, but maybe only in the 
squareback version. You see, the panel version of the square was a 1600A 
and it had an increased load carrying capacity together with the single 
carb engine and swing axles. It was called Variant II in my owners 
manual (compared to Variant I which was the regular 1600 like mine), but 
that must not be confused with the Variant II produced in Brasil. That's 
a completely different car. The van version of the square was available 
both with and without windows! I know because I've seen a panel van with 
windows here in Norway, about 8 years ago.
