I was thinking that there are a couple of versions of the same size lights out there.

M018 for 54-55 would be the egg light (replacing heart assy)

Image may have been reduced in size. Click image to view fullscreen.

M018 for 55-57 would be the "chevron" reflector for the snowflake housing. (replacing "snowflake" lens)

M018 for swedish market, lens on right (also replacing "snowflake" lens)

The reflector design looks very similar in both the egg and the nordic lenses and both are made of plastic. Coincidence??

Here are a few threads where it came up before.

This is my opinion, but sure make sense for the original semaphore cars with eggs and the exsistance of the chevron lens for the later ovals

As i have been doing more work on my car I can see by paint outlines and mounting holes that my car had either hearts or egg lights. Next to the tail lights tho on the innerside i have holes drilled for mounting another type of light, could this explain the sweden option?
