Just discovered the difference in min/max marking on the dipsticks for a VW411LE and a 914/4, both -72.
The min on the 914 seems to be the max on the 411, despite this the sticks are identical. In addition to this the 914/4 had a some extra arrangements in the crankcase to prevent high sea in the oil (from which year model?). The lower stick is the 914/4 one.
