Just out  of curiosity, does your car also have the slightly different, 
German-spec  (only?) rear number plate lighting? ISTR that German-spec cars did 
NOT 
have  the lamps in/on the overriders; rather, they used a pair of the typical 
Lucas  number plate lamp such as found on later TR3As, Heralds and earlier  
Spitfires.

The  number plate lighting on the rear of my German delivered '64 TR4 
(CT38895LO)  is the normally seen pair of lamps mounted in the over  riders.

Ah, my mistake. Now that I can look at my references, near as I can tell,  
what I described was true only of the TR4A German-spec model. Sorry!
