Looks like a Canadian standard too.  Had one of those.  VW #4. That was 40 yrs. ago.

Pope's nose engine lid light unless the engine lid has been changed too. Can't remember about the.running bds.  The interior will provide the best clues.

The white steering wheen made me think Deluxe. All the CDN std I've had came with the black three spoke. I didn't even notice the deck lid good eye!

Had a white steering wheel - bat wing earlier style with center horn button.  Still have the horn button for some unknown reason.  65 may have been first year.  Can't remember 64.

Look instde. Looks like it may have a full headliner which it shouldn't if it was a standard.  That right B pillar should be green not white.

We need to inspect it.

It's a Deluxe. The window rubber was changed after it was restored in '08.

If is was a standard the steering wheel would be white 57-60 style. It would also only have a halo headliner aside from what has already been mentioned
