Took a closer look at the new repros. While very nice parts, some differences to OEM (which is not surprising)
Here is a link to Pete Disher's CoralSnake site with a pic of the OEM lights, I am assuming same as Shelby (kudos for Pete for his support and documentation for the hobby!)

Here is a view of the repro, looks "good".
Lets look closer...
Upper left - cast 656 in glass, not on drawing
Upper right - cast IODE, not on orginal drawing
Lower left - SEV looks simialr, but no "Made in France" along lower edge
Lower right - similar Marchal script, but again no numbers on right side and different ones at bottom, as per original drawings.
And a look at the back and mount. I think the mount is a bit different, but am not sure...
So, while a very nice piece, some easily noted differences to OEM, which may be intentional to avoid scammers selling them as NOS.... and things only us insane folks would notice anyway! :icon_pani
