Being over in Europe, I'm surprised you haven't heard of the dual port 1300.  I guess being a T3 guy, you never had to worry about wimpy Beetles? ;)

In non-USA markets, the dual port 1300 was available from 1971 until at least 1974.  I've seen a pair of heads in person (smaller diameter for the cylinders).
