Collected my camper but what is it?

Got this camper today after dragging it from its resting place of four years.
I bought it on the basis that it was a westfalia but I am not comvinced that it is. Yes it has the stickers but the top doesnt look right. I do not know much at all about these campers so was hoping with all the knowledge on here someone would know what it was!

So you checked out other westfalias to see what you were buying...no?

epic fail. :D

take the sticker off the autohomes... and just enjoy doing it up.

It was bought blind, never seen the thing or even had pictures. A girl at work had it at her ex husbands house and he was wanting rid. So I jumped in to save it from the crusher!

Not exactly sure what to do with it!
