On a similar subject, regarding blackout head and side lamps, I have noticed new old stock ones finished in matt black, and not just the masks but the entire body (inside and out) as well. Was this just the primer they were supplied in,
Dave,

I am sure this the matt black is only intended as a primer as the lamps often have stencilled inspection stamps on the outside of them in yellow paint. Those made post war are usually in Deep Bronze Green.
