I guess Harold Colpitts + Bob Brennan would have imported these direct from Lesney so the VW could have been made for a US VW car club so made in USA seems to be the answer,unlikely to have ever been to Japan !

Because it was available unsold! There must be more of these VWs in USA unless it was a one off sample rejected by a VW car club - most likely East Coast not too far from NY as its most likely the sole importers were Harold Colpitts + perhaps Bob Brennan
