I think they are blinkers instead of the trafficators.

They look like the correct 5" headlights behind the grill for an early 1950, although they do look like modern 5" sealed beams or halogen reflectors.

That's why our ones sometimes get put into containers and shipped to the U.K.

I would carefully check out its provenance ....It could be a mock up . So many vehicles are advertised under false pretences . Does it have the MOD plate on it ?

I've been caught buying stuff on EBAY.. the problem is .. in many cases you cannot inspect what your buying beforehand.

I know of an Australian assembled RHD 1940 Dodge sedan ..restored as a WW2 staff car.. the car was sold in the UK . It was done up in desert colours as in the AIF Middle East . Hmmm .Well , the AIF didn't use Dodges in the first place ..only Fords and Chevs , a deliberate policy to aid spare parts and maintenance ( official documants and photos prove this ). And the car was a Taxi anyway ... as far as we know it was never in the army . A UK buyer has sold it on and its fake provenance is now building up as each new owner adds to the story ... See what happens !
