Simple, Guys and Gals,
It is a long standing practice for Rootes to build out a production run
with whatever is in the parts bin that would work. For instance, the
late S5 Alpine came from the factory with Mk II "lidless" headlight
rims, as the Mk II Tiger. This particular swap appears to coincide with
the end of Tiger/Alpine production, and is what was "on the shelf". See
my old S-5 that my son has restored in:

(Yes, one of the "S-5" pictures is an S-3. Explanation given.)
The COMPLETE Tiger Parts List Supplement (or sections) of the "Sunbeam"
parts list is posted at:
