Headlight lenses for March 1952 split beetle ?

[oldvale57]

Hello Folks

I need your help.
Do you know which headlight lenses were used on the 52 split bugs?
Hella or Bosch ? Vw logo on the bottom ?

Thanks so much

If you look the spare parts list, you can see the both are there Bosch and Hella.

Then the glass version Bosch has the logo always on top, Hella bottom for the early headlights.

When it changed to top for Hella? I think if depended where the car was shipped. The local requirements may wanted some type of glass.
