Ken, these reflectors, along with that bizarre "plinth" with the two small
license plate lamps and the L595 single backup lamp, were used only on the 1970
US "Federal" models. Other 1970 models of the Spitfire Mk.3 and GT6 Mk2 (+)
used that plinth but not the reflectors. Of course, those Federal cars
originally had unique taillamp lenses WITHOUT reflective capacity. Those lenses
are, at best, very difficult to find nowadays, having been out of production
for probably a good 20+ years.
