Those look as if they are lenses from a Fleetline. Fleetlines didn't have the VW emblem on the lens.

Sean, those look like lenses from an old Mercedes Benz truck, they are not VW lenses.

They will work though...

Bus and Beetle headlight lenses only featured VW logos in the 1950s. After that they were only branded Hella or Bosch. There were VW markings and part numbers on the other ehadlight parts, but not the lenses. The Mercedes truck headlights have lenses identical to the VW lenses. Among the numerical codes on the lenses are codes identifying when the lenses were made, but I know nothing about decoding these.

Fleetline lenses are unique, and different to German split bus lenses.
