Colin,
It is a Simms type 6AIB and the original army number was LV6MT3/SS/6AIB
you could try Mike Stallwood (RR Services) or Richard Banister

I have some of those Simms spot lights Colin, I'll dig them out and post some pics.

Adrian, fantastic and I will look forward to see the photos.
I am making good progress on the MG housing. The curved section was a heavy walled hydraulic cylinder with an almost correct dia but with some modification to make it look like the original part with rivets.

Thanks to the photos of measurements from Russ Gregg there is no guessing and they are coming together as good as I can make them.

Colin, here they are. Both good condition with bulbs and good reflectors. The red one has a small dent in the reflector but only minor. It also had one half of the ball mount missing on the bottom but fairly easy to make for a man of your talents! Focusing knobs move ok too.

I have been working on the gun elevator and made a press tool to form the barrel protectors as they are quite thick.
