I'm sure there is but I usually just call them early CMP headlamp pots as they are used on 11/12 cab CMPs and a larger number of Canadian armoured vehicles. The variation used on vehicles like Mk.1 carriers are identical except for brackets on the sides for posts instead of the fitting for the nut on the bottom.

I had listed these for sale and they actually look better in person than in the pics. They don't have the mirror reflector that takes the headlamp and marker lamp bulbs.

I believe those Cdn style headlights are actually slightly economized Ford tractor headlamps form the 1920s/30s. I have one out in the shed that is extremely close to the CMP headlamp, with the exception of a little more ornate retaining ring.

Hi Rob, do you still have these lights for sale or have they gone to a new home?

I message Brian, but unfortunately it seems he only has the Carrier type.

Cheers,

Hi Tom, just seeking clarification, you need a PAIR ( ie left and right) ?

I opened a crate of those last year here at the museum. They did need the reflectors polished a little bit (they tarnish) and the wiring replaced as the covering was cracking from old age, but it's always hard to beat NOS.
