Post WW2 the Dutch army copied these sidelights but in brass instead of white metal. They were used on the standard Daf military range of trucks. As a result they are much better than the originals and were quite easy to find a few years ago - not sure about now though !

Well I'll be! Always assumed they were all steel, the front and rear parts. A magnet just proved otherwise to me. Accounts for why the front part rots away a lot faster than the rear part due to electrolysis of dissimilar metals. I always assumed they were turned up on a lathe too but being white metal most likely were die cast then threaded. Always something new to learn about the CMP trucks! Cheers,
