Oh, and this may be the bezel:

however, not original.
And here are a pair of lenses on ebay:

Wrong bezel, unfortunately; I'm pretty sure that the one used on the early TR2
is unique to that car. There was someone in the Netherlands, I think, who was
reproducing them. (Lou Metelko, where are you? Help us out here!)

The lenses are correct, although I've never been totally clear on whether the
early TR2 used the glass or plastic versions. (Oh, and contrary to the
statement in the auction listing, these were not used on Spitfires!)
