That would appear to be the US pattern of light. I think I have 5 different generations of that light, varying from 6 volt WW2, 24V ww2 lamp with Mseries plug, 24v M series plug and lamp, M-series plug with two lamps on clamping bracket, then 2 of the large lense M-series lamps on the large bracket. Lastly, I have a 155mm bracket which has a wooden adapter to use on the 105.

All of these lamps have become obsolete here in Canada as the DND has now simply installed the lamps on the shields of the C3 howitzers.

Default Bofors tail light

I have found the tail light but it only consists of the metal light cage and the retaining strap. You are welcome to have these for the cost of posting. The web retaining strap has FINNIGANS arrow-1945 stamped on it.I hope the pictures show up on here, John.

John,

if Rod doesn't have it, I'd be interested.

Regards,

John thanks much for digging out the item you have posted. Sorry for the delay but have been down South for a week visiting family. Seems to be around 50% of what I am looking for and as I haven't heard from Mike so far I would be pleased to take up your kind offer. Please PM me postage charges. Rod
PS: If another item surfaces I shall advise the other interested party.

The light unit is the standard late war pattern rear light fitted to everything so not hard to find, but can be expensive now.

I have seen these with the standard round post war British glass rear light so obviously saw some post-war service.
