Parts ID help - headlight

[rob w]

Has anyone ever seen this headlight before. It has been on a 1969 Penton all it's life.
Has recessed back, not flat. There are no stampings / markings anywhere. Check out how the lens protrudes out around the bulb for clearance.
Just curious, thanks.

Hi Rob,
 My best guess is the light is a Hella. The chrome ring looks the same as a '68.  Here's a pic of a NOS '68 ring, showing the Hella sticker and the same mounting screw setup.


The lens is anyone's guess.
Good Luck,
Jeff

I think I remember seeing one of these in Italy.  Germany is so strict with its laws that it would have to have a name on it and a number.  When I worked for Honda I was shocked to know that even handlebars had to be approved.....Speedy we need you help.
