"Since I reproduced both the amber and red upper lenses last year many
people have asked me why we didn't make the upper amber with outside screw
holes. The answer is simple the Sunbeam Alpine & Tiger never had them.
These lense were originally made only for the home market and Europe and
no outside screw was every produced. Yes, we try to keep our repro's as
close to original as possible."

Wait, do you mean that all the Sunbeams with lenses with outside screws
were replacement lenses for broken factory lenses?
Then why do you have to open up the hole on the base to make
the screw from the back go through? Or does that mean
all the bases and the lenses were replaced?
