Headlight Identification

Can anyone help me identify which type of headlights these are and for what car these are for?
I bought them a while ago for my 912 as all the chrome was in excellent condition.
The seller claimed they came off a 356 but as they didn't have the bottom fixing tab I assumed they were early 901.
As always any help would be much appreciated as I would like to make some room and sell them with a better informed description.
Thanks
Andrew

Hi Andrew
US spec Hella clear lenses with Marchal units behind - pretty much what my '12 had when it came over.

Andrew,
any RHD 7" lamp will fit nicely in those Hella housings

I'd be interested in the Marchal lamp units on their own if they're surplus to your needs & the reflectors are rust-free (depending on price).

Thanks to everyone for the info it seems I was mostly right in my identification.
These are surplus to my needs now as my 912 is sorted.
I was toying with the idea of putting them on the 911 (although not period) but I have recently decided to stick with sugar scoops.
I would like to get back what I paid for them a while ago so happy to give Robin first dibs at £200 all in (or split £150 without the lamp units, lamp units £50 ).
All prices plus delivery at cost. Second refusal to Andy.
I'll transfer this to the Classified section if no takers.
Thanks Andrew
