VW originally sold lots of different shocks:

Front, std
Front, HD

Rear, swing axle fastback/notchback, std
Rear, swing axle fastback/notchback, HD

Rear, swing axle squareback, std
Rear, swing axle squareback, HD

Rear, IRS fastback/notchback, std
Rear, IRS fastback/notchback, HD

Rear, IRS squareback, std
Rear, IRS squareback, HD

My guess is that these fronts would also have been used on the type 34, but the 
type 34 may have used the fastback/notchback rears or may have had something  
special.  Even though the type 34 rear end is probably the lightest of the 4 
body styles, I think you'd still want a stiffer shock there than in the front.
