Can anyone identify these?

These are on a 59 beetle. I would imagine the brake lights are right, but what about the indicators? The lense is obviously from another planet, but what about the base? What do you reckon that's from?

Looks like a bus front bullet to me!

This bug would have come without these (and the front indicators) and only had the wings?(what are they called?) out the side. A new (criminal) law in the 60's had them put on.

Morris Minor but with bastardised lenses. Well that's a turn-up! Sort of "man bites dog" situation! Years ago before they became sacred, it was fairly common to put '63+ beetle tail lights on Morries because they had semaphores if they were early ones or the flashers (Morris Minor 1000's onwards) were a hopeless twin filament in combination with stop lights- ie if the stop lights were on & you hit the blinkers the stop lights flashed brighter.
