... 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.)
