Jeff,
>From all I can tell, the Mk3 has two piece lenses (White and amber) all
the way up through '69. In '70 they changed to the all amber ones (at
least for the US models). I think the ones for the rest of the world
remained unchanged through the entire Mk3 production.
So it would seem that yours might have been replaced sometime in its
past. Or the entire bonnet might not be original to the car!
