Identification and terminology of these Jeep headlight buckets
I was going through the dark corners of my shop and I found these in a dark recess in a box with the PTO (which I have just listed for sale). I don't need them, but if I am going to list them the least I can do is be accurate.
These buckets are supposed to be from an MB. They don't look the the "headlight buckets" I have found for sale on line. SO... 1) what is the proper terminology for these? 2) Are they considered a body part or an electrical part? 3) what are they from? ANy help would be much appreciated. |

2) Electrical part. 3) Not 100% certain. They look similar to the M38/M38A1 headlight units, but there are a few differences. My best guess is early civilian jeep (CJ2A, Cj3A, CJ3B). The attached photo is from a US Navy CJ V35/U, which was essentially a CJ3A with some modifications for military use. Owen.

Thanks for taking the time to straighten me out. Based on the pic you provided,I'd say you are correct.
Very much appreciated! |

headlight mountings
I think these are older than that, but I have no idea if there was a design change (given that I have never really seen an M151...)
