Early 70s turn signal clear lens? (1 Viewer)

Hi everyone!
I have a pair of these that look original but never saw a clear lens before.

Any idea if these are Euro/Japanese market?

I don’t have a use for them on my rig.

Have you taken the trim rings off and inspected the edges? If they are clear lens and not just UV faded the edges will have have no sign of amber. If they were NOS would say there were clear. These can tell have been used and weathered. Red holds up better than amber. Europe and Australia show having clear on some models. I might be interested if they are actually clear lenses.

Clear was factory for the Oz market up to at least '72

Good thought!
Yes looks like they are actually clear.

Cool! I did not know that. That’s why they look upside down. Haha
