Can anyone please tell me the part number of the hubcaps on a 63 square?

Thanks

131 601 151 is the only number in the parts book for 5-bolt. Since it doesn't have a suffix letter, it may be the right one, but it may be what VW supplied later after deleting various other versions.

The original cap is 311 601 151, the other is the 66 only (or 66/67 I can never remember) Beetle part. Its simular but deeper in profile and the roundal is pressed out, not in as with the Type 3 cap.

As Dave said, They would have stopped supplying both types and simply sold the Type 1 cap as a "universal" part.

Originality was obviously not such an issue back then!
