Early series lights - glass or plastic

landowner said:

My mate has bought an early series and the chassis number is below 04.

We think it may be a prototype but would like to know what typr of front and rear side lamps it should have?

I spose if would have two rear lamps as I think the law changed in the early fifties requiring vehicles to have two rear lamps.

any help appreciated
