Yes, 1968 was the year that the Feds began the safety campaign in
earnest. US model 1969 MG Midgets and Bs had silly little reflector on the
front and rear wings as a stop-gap until the side-marker lights could be
developed. The reflectors look like something that might have been added
by a DPO, but it was the factory. They can be rare, as many a PO took them
off. That, and replacement cost is higher than one would think due to
supply and demand (only on one year).
