... I noticed that early TR3s had their brake light
integrated in with the license plate light. It struck me I could swap
out the current "license plate only light" for one of these and put
one more brake light in the back....
Does anyone know of a reason it could not be swapped back & forth?

I don't have anything handy to look at (and the Spare Parts Catalogue
doesn't help), but I wonder if using the older number lamp/brake lamp unit
might
require some slight modifications to the apron to accommodate the older lamp? I
suspect any such modifications would be hidden by either lamp, so it's
probably not a big deal. Electrically it should be no problem.
I've given some thought to doing this with the Herald. That's not an
original idea of mine; it was done years ago on a Sports 6 that I know of.
(It's
actually easier on the Herald, since the number plate lamp has its own plinth
that can be modified and/or swapped back and forth complete.)
