Hmmm. Given that my instruction book which identifies the three lights in the wiring diagram (August 1940) states 'built for British War Department' on the cover, I wonder if the third light with the blackout hood was a purely British requirement? In the summer of 1940, we were getting bombed on a regular basis, so blackout conditions prevailed.
Given that by July 1941 (or possibly earlier) the third instrument light had been deleted, I guess it wasn't all that successful.
Owen.
