Marchal lights etc were a French brand from the day. Their headlights typically had the globe (bulb) facing backwards towards the reflector. The globe was mounted on a vertical "bar" behind the glass with the filament at the focal point of the parabolic reflector giving an excellent beam. The glass was nearly always plain and clear.
Not long ago, I finished the restoration of a Delage (the French Rolls Royce quality car of the era). It was fitted with Marchal lights.
