Early 2 piece tail lamps (assemblys) will fit later Midgets.
I converted my 73 Midget to the early style, I think you have to
elongate the mounting holes just a bit to fit the older style. Even with
elongated mounting holes you can always revert back to stock.
Yes Midget and MGB have the same tail lamps.
