Identification and terminology of these Jeep headlight buckets
 
2 Attachment(s)
I was going through the dark corners of my shop and I found these in a dark recess in a box with the PTO (which I have just listed for sale). I don't need them, but if I am going to list them the least I can do is be accurate.

These buckets are supposed to be from an MB. They don't look the the "headlight buckets" I have found for sale on line. SO...
1) what is the proper terminology for these?
2) Are they considered a body part or an electrical part?
3) what are they from?

ANy help would be much appreciated.

1) Headlight mounting with bowl & retaining ring.
2) Electrical part.
3) Not 100% certain. They look similar to the M38/M38A1 headlight units, but there are a few differences. My best guess is early civilian jeep (CJ2A, Cj3A, CJ3B). The attached photo is from a US Navy CJ V35/U, which was essentially a CJ3A with some modifications for military use.

Thanks for taking the time to straighten me out. Based on the pic you provided,I'd say you are correct.
Very much appreciated!

Also look like the M151 series lights, too.

headlight mountings
 
I think these are older than that, but I have no idea if there was a design change (given that I have never really seen an M151...)

civilian 99% the m38 one will have metalclip inside to hold the connector
