I found this answer to a question that was asked on an ebay listing for 653's
"The 653 and 656 lights are very close. All parts are interchangeable. The 653 use a conventional french 3-pin bulb and the 656 use a H1 bulb. The glass on 656 say '656 IODE', no marking of '653' on the 653-glass. The frames on these 653 lamps say 'Marchal 653' but some 653 lights and all 656 lights are without this marking."
Just thought it was interesting and passing it along.
