Another batch in training, so what do you think note the bike on the left has a shuttered headlight

Les Freathy has attached this image:

Variations of head lamp black out masks occur, up to the introduction of the 'Lucas' pattern somewhere in 1941. Early black out head lamp covers vary from:
-1- half plated and half painted matt black reflectors,
-2- Blue painted headlamp glasses with a small opening in the shape of the letter D (on its side),
-3- similar but with some sort of paper/material inside the glass,
-4- and the protruding cylindrical extension with slots, as shown on the left hand bike.

Possibly there may have been more?
