AS is a replacement Case, the only way to really know what size engine you have is to remove one head and measure bore and stroke.

The second 1 says it is a sedan and not a convertible... so first 1 says it’s a beetle and second 1 it is a beetle sedan, not convertible or station wagon or fastback ( not that there was other kinds of beetles but those codes applicable to type 3 and 4 for example)

Weber carbs were never fitted as standard on ACVWs.

Think he is talking about the twin solex, on the SP 1600 Beetle in the last few years.
