Ah've checked on tinternet and can't find P38 handles like them. It was the bottom one in the photie ye looked at? The top one was off me defender

That convoy switch ah've got on, ah marked it as used... but it was a new one that had bin kickin' around in a mates tool box (hence the 'scratches' and tarnished bolts) for a bit before ah got it about 3 years back! Still got a couple of more bits and pieces to go on mate
TBH, ah forgot ah had it until ah went huntin' fur summit else:doh:
