It appears the answer was that a prior owner installed the orange in Europe,
but not Germany. However, the replacements my friend was chasing appear to be
OK with the Lucas Motorcycle reflectors as shown for sale (sold) recently on
eBay.
Thanks again to ther list for an interesting thread.
Just a tad off topic but back in the early 80's I was buying older Jags (MK
IV, XK's and e Types) in the US and sending to France for collectors. We had
a set of Euro equipment (yellow headlights, Km speedo's, etc)we sent back and
forth to pass Euro import rules which differed from the Euro cars being sent
to the US (Porsche Turbos, Ferrari's, Beemers). Most of the ridiculous rules
and non tariff trade barriers were set by governments trying to protect local
(national) manufacturers and distributors from outside competition and
currency anamolies, under the guise of safety measures.
