P38A Can anyone tell me what model this part number is from?

The part number on a headlight is XBC 104180 I can't find it on the UK parts manual. Can anyone help it may be from overseas?
Cheers

I know this number is different but XBC104480 is the Headlamp Assembly from a Defender.....is it round.

So yours is from a P38...?? that number comes up nowhere.

Yes its off a p38, in very good condition so the label is like new. I can't find a reference its odd! I also had another one today AMR 4820 after a lot of searching, as it is not in the UK book, it turns out to be a LHD (Right) headlamp on a German site. So would like to find out what XBC 104180 is?

A description of the part may help. Maybe a discontinued obsolete item. As is AMR4820.

As original question it's a headlamp unit. Offside. Black casing, wiper motor and glass with bulbs.

I have noticed that on the glass there is a row of number and an arrow, in this case to the left which may indicated the direction of the dip? but on some glass on other units sometimes there is an arrow bellow and above in different directions (a small arrow and a larger one?)

Ok missed that for some reason. But the number is obviously a discontinued part. Only the latest numbers are shown on Microcat. That number does not come up on Rimmers site even as a superseded part. So it must be a fairly old number.

Might be the part number for the MCW Metrocab II.

Metrocab, does look similar will check that.
May be making progress, I have been checking up on the standards that are stamped into the glass
I have 02 HC/R 20 04 HR 17.5 02A (with a small arrow pointing to the left above) E2 (in a circle) 3105
seems HC/R is Low and High (dip & main beam) beam headlamp with high beams not to be operated simutaneously, Class-B (usually halogen or LED).
HR is High (main) beam or driving lamp Class-B (usually halogen or LED).
E in a circle is Country of Approval in my case France (E2) UK would be E11
Beam Peak Intensity 17.5
02A an arrow → near an 'A' mark on a front lamp cluster, it refers to the side of the car for which the parking lamp built into that cluster is approved, and not the traffic direction for which the headlamp in the same cluster is intended.
Arrows:

• → Low beam is suitable only for use in Left Hand Traffic (e.g., Britain, Australia, Africa, Japan)
  
• [NO ARROW] Low beam is suitable only for use in Right Hand Traffic (US, Canada, Continental Europe, Scandinavia, Russia, etc.)
  
• ↔ Low beam is adaptable for use on either side of the road (many projector lamps and older reflector high/low lamps)

So to conclude my AMR4820 is a continental
XBC 104180 is a UK one like new (has date 27/01/98 on the rear of the lense) and identical in markings to my 2000MY p38 so will keep as a spare. Just need to look at the rest of my stock to find the other continental and can then put those on ebay.

p.s. All my lamps have E2 (in a circle) on them

Thanks for helps, suggestions.

Haha. Was joking about the Metrocab.
