Rob. Those are indeed the amber lenses. My M38CDN was equipped with them when surplussed at Kapyong in 1976. A couple of years earlier, at the big M38CDN Auction at Shilo, most of the vehicles there I recall were also so equipped, but some did have the modified original markers as you described.
I kept the big amber lenses and found a set of stripped original lenses and used amber coloured bulbs in them. Just looked more 'military' to me, and as you say was the norm until the arrival of the amber lenses in the 1960's.
Hope you are not snowed in yet out there tonight, Rob. That Penguin might be right handy this winter!
