No Chris, I don't think so? I have a head light here in which the glass has been painted green. Where the paint has been scratched off, I can see it is a laminated glass that the centre plastic has gone yellow. I would guess that this was originally a clear glass. I can't imagine it ever having been blue (doesn't mean it wasn't)
This light has only ever had one coat of paint and is the dark green green that some Kiwis will know about on early LP2 carriers. The bulb is an Osram275, Gas filled, made in England, 6Volt 24 Watt.(just if someone wanted to know) There doesn't appear to be any marking on the glass. Talking about tail light lenses now. (I have 2 of each, in original packaging, nos) The red lens is marked HELITE and SAFETY in a small circle with a kangaroo pictured between the words. The blue lens is marked Triplex. Interesting that the Australian carriers had the blue and red tail lights installed on opposite sides to the early British carriers.
