Default Original headlights?

Hi again all,

Thanks for your continued help. My restoration on a '29 54-A continues, and it's running!

I took a look at the old headlights today and they don't seem right. They seem "deeper" than the pictures of other '29 headlights I've seen and there's no hole for an adjusting screw in the back. Also, there are only four rivets in the mounting plate at the bottom of the light housing and the pictures of originals I've seen all have six. The light uses an integrated bulb/reflector/lens, so that's not much of a clue and the plug that the bulb uses seems different from those sold by the parts manufacturers.

Any thoughts on whether these are original? Thanks!

Pat
