They are different. The split was end of 71/start of 72. 72 and up is longer. From screw hole to screw hole, it is 142mm. Part # 211 943 131D, has SAE L71 on it. Up to the end of 71, it is shorter. From screw hole to screw hole, it is 130mm. Part # 211 943 131C, has a pre-70 number after SAE. > Observation......the two dome lights are not the same part number (in other > words, different) The front dome light has a three position switch, the rear > has a two position switch. At least, that's the case on a 70. A lot of conflicting info here...... All the literature I have shows only one interior light in a bus..... The 68-72 parts book says: 211 947 111 up to chassis # 218 220 000 [end of 68] and 271 947 111A from chassis # 219 000 001 [start of 69]. Ekta says: 211 947 111B up to # 215 2300 000 [end of 75] and 823 847 105B from # 216 2000 001 [start of 76]. 4 different part numbers!!! Both show a switch in front, part # 111 955 511B that was used from 68 to the end of 74 [214 2300 000]. I know the front one has door jamb switches and a 3 position switch on the light [door open on/off/on]. The dash switch listed above has to be for the rear light. To turn it on from the front. I believe the rear light would need a 2 position switch on it for the people in the back...... But this raises a question.... on my 67, I have a switch for the rear dome light on the left side of the speedo pod. It turns the power on and off to the rear dome light. If I have it on, then the rear dome switch will turn the light on and off. If I have it off, the rear dome switch is dead and the light stays off. Does the 68-74 work this way also? Or is it wired like a 3-way house light circuit?? Inquiring minds want to know:) > Mike > 1970 Bus - The Ruptured Duck
