    I picked up these rear lenses a few weeks ago for my little Austin, I thought it would be easy to find out what they were from....Nope, nobody has been able to identify them...

    My first guess would be clearance markers off a big truck or trailer.

    I have a feeling they are probably not from a Truck or Camper, I know where they came from, they came from RETROMOBILE,https://en.retromobile.com/ which is a huge French show and swap meet, so, I have a feeling they may well be off something unusual, needless to say, I never bought them there,

    Their shape and size is very, very similar to later '30s Willys. However, the external fluting is the thing most different from the Willys lenses.

    I was thinking Willys myself but the fluting isn't right. HRP
