Besides the things Coralsnake mentioned the large gray grommet for the wire is indicative of the later service chrome body. That grey grommet uses a larger hole in the body. The one with the small black grommet uses a smaller hole and is period correct .The orange/yellow and black power wires are contained in a single grey vinyl wire covering . The end in a unique bullet like shaped connector. Still a good similar look replacement part but just not one that looks like the assemblyine

I haven't looked really in years but I bought a few original lamps and lenses  out of England. I also bought some incorrect ones just for the ENGLAND glass. The lamps were used for a few cars in England and they shouldn't be impossible to find. Shipping was really reasonable from England as next day air was how they were shipped but that was a while ago.

I believe back in the day that a pair of entire assemblies were purchased to get a replacement glass lens . There was not a huge difference between the price of the pair of assemblies vs. the price of   the individual lens I was told by one original owner. I also think that the pair of complete fog lights was more easily available then the individual parts was another reason for the replacement of the later style foglights on a given car. Yes they were relatively common used on a lot of English cars. They are still relatively commonly available over in the UK even today. At least the ones with the large gray grommets are.
