Yup. Have a look at the pics I put up on your other thread and you can see they are the same. Good find as they are expensive. The little brass j clips are almost unobtainable so go easy on the dismantling. Heat, penetrating oil and gently does it.

Good that’s a relief,  I know they need tidying up but thought it was worth the risk at £105 delivered for them both , ps nice chatting with you earlier 👍

I am after a pair of those too. I did find a source for the outer part but the inner retaining ring is not included. So it doesn't look like I am going to get anywhere with it.
Online prices for them are ridiculous.

Hi Nathan, I have got replacement ones but was just wondering if the existing lights apart from the lenses etc were military ones

They look like it.  Don't remove anything like that, even to start cleaning it up, till it's been inspected and photographed. I've got the paperwork from Peter, you and I just need to agree a date now!
