What tail lights are these?

I picked up these tail lights in a bulk package of parts. They look like European lenses but I am not sure. They both have Hella on them with some sort of chrome trim ring. Any help would be much appreciated.

I can part with them. They do have some wear on them.

They look like stock U.S. market lenses with an aftermarket trim. Looks like something JC Whitney would have offered back then. One could get all kinds of chrome trim accessories back in the '60s, 70s, & 80s. Everything from rain channel chrome trim, fender gravel guards, exterior door handle finger pull guards, trim for the fresh air and engine cover vents and trim rings for your wheels. The stock U.S. lenses were red, red and white like yours. The Europeans lenses were amber, red & white.
