He has a Porsche 5 speed transmission and uses a Porsche shifter.That particular CAE shifter is originally for a Porsche 911.The "tunnel" is round and the original vw shifter is much smaller.The Porsche shifter base is wider so the flat side will not fit firmly on the tunnel.

Good eye, it is for porsche indeed. However I like the look of the chopped tunnel, still don't see the why.

The CAE site says they make a shifter for porsche tranny in beetle with beetle "ground plate" as well:
