Yours is the Butler lamp and Kevin's parts list is showing a Lucas, like a lot of British wartime vehicles, they could have either makes when in service ( same with head, side and tail lamps).

I think the bulb holder in Jordans middle picture is the same as the one in the early rubber tail light.

Hi, From the pictures richard has supplied, CO1UC 100145 BODY CONVOY LAMP. Here are some. So this is what the canadian lens end cover looks like.

I have had a couple of the rear plates over the years with the rear convoy lamp installed. They both had the metal lamps like Kevin shows. They were from mid production mk1 carriers.

Corrr Kevin they are some fancy xmas tree lights those

So, All we need now is a picture of the bracket that attaches the light to the rear plate. The carrier at the Mucklebourgh museum has a axle light fitted, so does another carrier i know, looks like another ride out with the camera and measuring tape.

Would be nice if someone had this info already to post on here.

Kevin.

hi, If you are looking for an axle light for a british carrier get yourself one of these, 'towing rear light extension'. Same lampholder as in my first posting in this thread and you also get several metres of carrier wiring cable.

Hi Guys,

If anybody needs a Butler lamp Dirk Leegwater has them NOS at € 35, switch for € 30.

I have a bent up bracket on my spare rear plate. I'll snap a photo in a bit and post it here today.
