From looking at eBay pictures it's clear the front part of the chrome does come off. My guess would be you need to rotate it, but that isn't doing anything. Is there a hidden clip?

I think once you have the lens off there are screws holding the bulb housing to the front panel. You remove those screws and pull off the bulb assembly. The wires come through the front panel and screw into the bulb assembly.
You have to look past the fifty years of use to see the mounting screws. They are usually discolored and blend in with the bulb assembly body.
