My guess is that the 3-wire motor is a single speed, while the 4th wire gives you a second speed. I'm not sure when type 3s got a second speed, but it was by '68. A single speed motor would be used with the early variable speed system. > I find it really odd that the splices were within the > sheath, as if it were done at the factory, or someone > went to a lot of trouble to sheath it after splicing > the wires together. They were not soldered either. That has to be the work of a previous owner. Just poor workmanship, covered over carefully.... BTW, I looked at your other photos on the Samba. The blue engine cover is for a type 3, the one without the "vent" is not. I don't know beetles, but that's what it's probably from.
