Yep, it’s the same lens as in a Jaguar XKE or their saloons of the 1960’s.

That being said, it is *not* the same as the ones fitted to an MGB or Lotus, though the two lamp units do look similar.

The problem with the lenses is that the bl**dy mounting holes break off where the little retaining clips slide on, so they never stay on properly after that. The solution for me was to stuff some of that sticky poster-hanging gum in there (butyl rubber may also work) and pop it back on, pressing it firmly onto the pins. Worked well enough!
