That's the late, mid-'72 thru '73 version. I'll have to look to see 
if I have one, but you might find one on the Samba.

I think the thing that kills our steering wheels is extreme cold. The 
plastic shrinks more than the steel skeleton inside and eventually 
the plastic cracks to accommodate the stress. I've noticed that the 
cracks in mine get much smaller in warm weather. The wheel on the car 
that's in an attached garage is still intact. All my others are 
cracked.

I suspect those of you in warm climates don't have this problem.
