bearing 1 is so obsolete I cant say
bearing 2 is 025 105 531 and bearing 3 is 025 105 561 001 blue - the others are probably 001 suffix too standard size

The VW part number used by Volkspares and others is 025 198 461 for early, standard bearing and 025 198 461A for late.
If you have an early case, which DF usually is, the beetle standard main kit will give you all except the rear (flanged) main. The beetle standard set is GSF no. 070 198 461.
You need to look at the numbers on the bearings you have and let me know them so I can tell you if the crank is standard.
I have a few sets of early bearings. STD, .25 and .5. £46 plus 3 quid post.
Check out your stud condition before you spend money on bearings. Any rust is too much.
