One thing my wife noticed as I was putting the car away was one brake light appears round and the other more rectangular. On closer inspection you can see that on one side the area around the bulb is much smaller with a very flat top and bottom and the on the other side, although still with a small flat top and bottom area, is much rounder. Looking in my Mk3 parts catalogue it shows the round version and on Canleys website it shows the 1500 Spitfire with the flatter more rectangular version so it appears I have one of each.
One thing that threw me was when looking on the Rimmer Bros website for GT6 Mk3 lights they show a picture with one of each type side by side in the same order as mine. I thought it maybe had both types originally on the car for some odd 70's reason but I cant find anywhere that can help me on that and the general forums where I posted the question so far haven't helped either.

You can see the one one left has a rectangular brake light and the right is more rounded

The other news is my paint has arrived for some touch ups around the bottom of the car, the rear light panel and rear vents. I will wait until generally warmer weather before taking anything on. I also picked up a new oil filter as a package containing nothing but aerosol cans was a bit boring.
