Default Need some advice on these lights.

Hi guys, I have some rear lights but I'm not sure if they are for the 200 series or 700 series saloons! They are 6-panel lights not 5-panel, and have no distinguishing marks or numbers I can find other than etched/scratched D and H for left and right.

So, can any of you identify what car these are for please? I can take more photos if necessary but here a selection attached.

Cheers Ric

Look like later 2240 lights to me. Early ones were 5 panel lights, later were 6.

Plus one on Antz's post. The lamp configuration did vary among cars with that lens pattern; early cars had the rear fog lamps (21w) inboard of the reversing lamps while later ones had them outboard (beneath the indicators). There's a very old post (pre-2010 IIRC) with contributions from Mike Brace and myself inter alia on the subject.
