Euro 71-72 tail light lenses?

Looking for an original pair of Euro (amber topped) lenses for my GTV. I know they were made for the 68-70 lights, but I'm not sure about the later (larger) 71-72 model? If they were never made, set me straight!! Thanks!

That's what you want ?
They were mounted in 68-70 on 1300 and 1500, in 71-72 on 1302 and 1300. There are also some models without reverse-light.

Possibly?? It's hard for me to tell the difference from 68-70 and 71-72 from a picture. I think the later ones are just slightly larger. It is possible that Europe used the same lights from 68-72, whereas the US only got the larger ones and therefore were not amber topped?? Maybe??

I just came back from a guy who is in late models,and asked him if there is a difference between the us & euro taillights,
and he showed me these.
The us-model is larger than the euro model.(I didn't know that,I also thought they were the same size)

I call them Tombstones. I dodn't know that there was a difference in the 71-72 lights - I thought it was just the reflector on the side.
