Er, the answer is in your own photo...
See the two raised bits pressed into the panel? That's where LHD wipers are fitted, and the reason the black plastic bits are needed to convert it to RHD at the factory (except SA vans)

Re: Wiper part search
perhaps they used a SA front panel (which is proper rhd with only pressed bumps for rhd like the lhd ones were) to repair Keith's van in which case they can use the rhd ones I'd guess, also would want to move the washer jets in a perfect world but that should have been sorted before the panel was fitted

Hi ajsimmo yep I know that, in the pic im interested in the plastic / rubber surrounds at the base of the wiper and was wondering if you can get for LHD.

You cant get them for LHD, VW had no need to make them,the original windscreen panel was a LHD part, the RHD version just had the various holes punched out for RHD mode.
