This is what I know.

It is a transition split window wear the installed the oval dash they would put in a oval window. A zwitter was only built from October 1st 1952 - March ,10, 1953. Zwitter is short for german word Zwitterkafer. had unique zwitter parts such as a dome light..

So far that is all I know.

Straight from thesamba dictionary

Zwitterkäfer German: "Hermaphrodite beetle". Secondary meanings are, "dual purpose", and "made from two different kinds of things". Refers to the late 1952 - early 1953 Beetle produced between the full Split-Window Beetle and the Oval Beetle. It was a Split beetle with Oval window dash, split rear window, and Zwitter only parts, the rarest being the dome light.
