David,
the words "not fitted at time of manufacture" is all that needs to be satisfied.
I agree with Jack's post and infact have gone through the circus when a testing mechanic does not know the rules.
There are times when I have been wrong, once was when I had to fit a windshield and wipers and wash bottle to pass a safety. Remember there is no requirement to operate with that windshield only to have it at the time of the safety.
It is a bit of a jungle out there.
A number of the Land Rovers I register have no reversing light fitted at time of manufacture.
