Special autostick mudflaps - anyone heard of these?

[autostick]

I used to have a stickshift auto beetle. I have found a set of NOS mudflaps in my spares box. I remember being told when I bought the car that they were special ones for the stickshift auto (they have a spat that goes inside the rear guard and protects the oil and air tank).

I just wondered if anyone knows anything about them, they aren't VW logo'd or part numbered so were obviously made for the auto bugs by a 3rd party manufacturer but a google search failed to shed any light. I want to try and get rid of them but don't know how they fit and have no idea how "in demand" they are. I've also got a stickshift automatic boot lid badge.

Anyone got any pics of them installed or know where they originated? We don't have too many autos in Australia so I'm asking here.

Hi
I really doubt if they are really special ones for autost any stonesicks as there weren't many sold in Australia.  The genuine VW mudflaps did go right up the fender/guard to stop any stone chips which used to go right thru the guards/fenders/wings and chipped the paint on the top side.  I believe these were sold as a stone guard or country pack.
They used to have the large metal piece which fitted under the front fender/guard/wing to stop stone damage there also.  I'm not sure whether a front mudflap was used in the genuine kit??
I did make two rear mud flaps using two new VW rear mudflaps and I added a piece of thin sheet steel which went right up near the top of the tanks. They were both different and one was further backwards than the other one.. I had them placed too low, and they were ripped off  when reversing down a steep gutter..
