Unfortunately, No, I don't. No illustration in the parts catalogue, and no
mention of it in the Lucas catalog. Not in TRA judging standard either.
Of course, I've seen several "period correct" lamps just as you have, but no
way to know which one is "as original" ... which of course means no one else
can say yours is "wrong" either <G>
I'm planning to mount a nice Wipac to the top of one of the rear bumpers,
perhaps with a halogen bulb in it.

I don't know for certain, but I would guess that Triumph would've supplied a
Lucas L494 lamp unit if you ordered that part number, and possibly a Lucas
pull switch with a small white light in the center of the knob to actuate the
lamp. An ultra-quick search turns up this picture of the lens:

If that link doesn't work, go to _http://www.holden.co.uk_
(http://www.holden.co.uk) and search for L494. Complete lamps turn up on eBay
every so often
and usually bring pretty good prices in either the reversing (white lens) or
fog (red lens) versions.
