I have never seen the tip listed as an Mxxx option. So, it would seem to be an accessory offered by the US dealer network and not a Factory installed option. Volkswagen Products Corporation of Fort Worth, TX was an arm of the distributors that sourced accessory parts for dealers to sell. If the item had a ZPW part #, then it was an official aftermarket accessory.
Those items in the photo were aftermarket offerings.
I think the photo shows a period correct New Jersey license plate.
Porsche Audi NA was located in Englewood Cliffs, NJ in that period.
My wife worked there for a summer.
When driving around with friends we would go through the headquarters parking lot
to see what new and unusual cars were there.
We saw the first Turbos, Scirroco race cars and more.
