There were Type 3 fastbacks and Type 4 fastbacks, but I'm assuming 
you got the channel from a Type 3 fastback. In that case, Type 3 
fastback and squareback bodies are the same in that area.

T1, T2, & T3 are more properly used to describe different eras of 
Type 2s (Transporters.) We often refer to our cars as T3s, but this 
can be confusing if you're asking about compatability. There are very 
few cross-compatable parts between a T3 and a Type 3.
