Those turn signals go way back. They are mechanical pointers on both the
driver side and the passenger side window frames that flip out to signal
which way you intend to turn - almost like the old hand signals. You have
heard of hand signals, haven't you? ;>)

Right by the upper portion of the rear 1/4 panel window very close to either
door, there should be a cutout that would allow for a tiny little arm to pop
out of that panel and blink. That should be a semaphore turn signal
(flag-like turn signals). It kinda looks like a school bus stop signal on
the left side which comes out from the school bus when activated. The
Beetle signals rise out and up while the school bus signal comes out and
forward.
You couldn't tell in those pictures on that link huh?

I just can't find a good picture of one in operation! :-(
Still looking.............

You gotta take some snapshots and post 'em. I can't picture how/why the
rear tunnel would be missing. It's not really rearmost (which I think
you have in mind - the shelf), but just under the rear seat.
