hey Kevin: that lamp with the single wire looks quite similar to the vintage civilian vehicle lamp produced by Cole Hersee. A nice substitute for the military issue?

Michael,
That Cole Hersee lamp looks exactly like the interior lamps in production Ram tanks. I used to have some. I have no doubt that the Canadian carrier part was the same. Well done for spotting the origin.

David

Just be aware that Cnd carrier dash lamps used two wires.
