What type of vehicle could this light be from

[HD1450]

I came across this relic light today that i have had for a few years & was told it was off a German vehicle that was dug up in poland , so can anyone place it too any type of vehicle ? I know it is a long shot

It is a US Blackout driving light.

These were fitted to almost all US vehicle types.

So it was off a Lend Lease vehicle most likely used by the Red Army.

Cheers, Ade.

Wow , that was quick Ade & thanks for clearing that up

[Adrian Stevenson]

My pleasure.

I said this the other day, unless I transmit a bit of what I have picked up alone the way, what is the point.

Cheers, Ade.

Not many US vehicles had blackout lights attached directly to their headlights.
It should be fairly easy to ID.

My WWII vehicle reference manual shows only tanks, armored cars and
halftracks as likely suspects. Trucks and utility vehicles have separate
housings - usually attached to the fenders.........

A list of WWII Lend-lease tanks, halftracks and armored cars to Russia
will narrow it down.........
