These came on my
Jan 55 Canadian delivered barndoor. I was told these were the infamous 55 only buckets.
Notice the arrow that is stamped into the ring that matches the arrow molded into the
glass. Check out those very long retainer clips too.
Top of lense has OBEN and HELLA.
Bottom of lense has E1.067.01 and below that a slightly odd
looking VW symbol, followed by 'Made in Germany' with an arrow pointing down at the arrow
stamped in the ring. |
