short nose is your typical van front end and early caravelle,,,, long nose is the updated caravelle multivan front end also did a few long nose vans on the last run of t4's do a search to see the difference hope this helps
I believe the long nose was introduced to accomodate the VR6 engine, which is why you only see long nose Caravelles. Then I imagine they used the long nose on every Caravelle as a sort of facelift. The vans are all short nose, as far as I can tell.
