Yes, the LAAT has 2 fitted, I think. The C8 and F8, both with the small as well as the long box, have one fitted in the back, but without the shield. Indeed I now have a complete one; thanks to Stefan and Egbert!

pictures attached are from Clive's Factory photos CD.

I don't have my files at hand, but I think the lamp is listed in the C8 parts list. I will check. I don't think it's a specific Ford or Chev design, but more likely a lamp that was sourced somewhere else and used by both brands.

Thanks for the photos and Info Alex.
It seems that it is a lamp that was present in the CMP from the beginning..

Attached are two pictures from the C8 body parts list....sadly the part number isn't of much use (?)

the lamp is marked with part number "919".....no idea if this points to another publication or if there is a cross reference.

Yes, but to be honest I only was aware of them factory fitted to 8cwt's and LAAT's. But, they could be useful in all sorts of CMPs', so I would not be surprised if they were indeed factory fitted to more CMP types.

Yes, the same lamp is used on the C8 AND F8 FFW . I need one of these lamps if anyone knows where to source one ? Been after one for years . Thanks
