Help Needed to ID 2 interior ligts Ponton?

I have two lights in a box that I'm not sure what they came out of. No marking to go by. I parted out a 1960 190 ponton about 8 years ago, and I suspect they may be from that car but I need some help. Thanks!

Hi Andrew,

Not sure about pictures 1 and 2. Picture 3, 4 and 5 are trunk mounted license plate lights.

It is hard to tell from the photos but these look just like the license plate lights from a 108, a 109 or perhaps a 300d from the 50's.

Do a search for these lights on Ebay and I bet you will find a match.

The 108 and 109 lights are flat on the mounting side. These look like they have a bit of a curve.

I have also seen Alfa Spiders with lights that look like these, but then Alfa was buying parts from a lot of sources during the 60's and 70's so not all Alfa's used the same parts over the long run.

The light in pictures one and two look like an interior light. I don't recognize them as W108, W111 or W180 W121 Pontons. Are you sure they are Mercedes? There would be a Mercedes part number on them somewhere...

The other lights are certainly exterior lights for the license plate.

The curved mounting in pic 1 and 2 is really odd for an interior part on any car.

My first thought was a light mounted to a tail fin / end of fender.

Did you take the lens off? There has to be a number somewhere.
