Mismatched front guards on a 67 beetle

Just noticed that the front indicators on the beetle are displaced by 90mm.. That is.. One is..
The RHS is 110mm from the front of the indicator to the top of the headlight rim..
The LHS is 200mm across the same measurement..

You can see the difference in this front on shot..

Hopefully it is the RHS as I would like to replace it anyway..
Does anyone know?.. Can someone take the measurement and let me know..
Thanks

sorry to say this, but to me it looks like the right hand guard indicator is in the right place.

But it is only my opinion so I may be wrong.

Mine measure around 235mm from edge of chrome headlamp rim to blinker....

No.. Its the high (200mm back) ones that are correct.. (just looked it up)

details

The drivers side is probably from an earlier model with the narrow blinkers

Yeah but your aerial is also on the wrong side
Seriously though.. I guess after 40 odd years you take what you can get (I do)..
