Hmmm, hard to say, because in the early 60ies there weren't that many differences between the European and the American Typ 1 (if exported or assembled there doesn't matter)
The front lamps maybe US-version, it's hard to see (legal in UK? In Germany they are forbidden) and the back lamps with the red indicators are US-version, too.
But this means nothing, they are available everywhere. And this car is not original at all. Just notice the Porsche 911-rims and the lowering kit. Maybe the chassis-platform is from annother year than the 1962-body.

I'm not convinced about the back fenders. I'm not sure, but they doesn't look 1962-like. My Typ 1-knowledge is not too big, but something says to me, that the shape of fender, lamps and bumper doesn't fit together. I think, the bumper-holder is longer than the original one.
The front turn signals are remade "tuning"-parts, also available in VW-classic-shops.
As I know,in 1962 the windscreen-rubber has a chrome-trim inside. The pure rubbers came later IMHO (1968+ ?), and only for the 1200 Standard.

So the 1962-regisration could be o.k.for this car, but I'm not able to say, if it was an US-version.
