Well, they are a slightly different shape, and they go with different valve 
bodies that were used in different years. VW fiddled with something over the 
years, so you'd really have to ask them for a real answer. VW sold 3 different 
VMs for type 3s, the 2 above for the different years of FI, plus a third for 
use with dual carb engines. Apparently they never offered the AT with the 
single carb engine.
