Factory original fog lamps

According to the British Heritage certificate on my 67 B-GT, it came out of the factory with fog lamps. Any idea what kind of fog lamps these migh have been (fender mounted, grill mounted, etc.)?
 
From the pictures I've seen they were round Lucas foglamps mounted on top of the bumper. On the other hand the build list could have been refering to a single, red, rear-facing marker lamp as found in the UK - but I haven't heard of any North American-intended cars built with those installed.

Very nice MG, AeroG.

BTW, what size are your Lucas lamps? Are they 7 inch diameter ones?

I'm looking for smaller driving (not fog) lamps for my GT6 and would like to get the thin profile (not bullet shaped) lamps like yours. I need 5" or smaller diameter. The smallest ones I've found are Cibie "Tango" series at 4.85". They look similar to the Lucas lights.

Does anyone have suggestions for such lamps?
 
I am pretty sure they would have been fender mounted and probably for 1967 either Lucas SLR 576 (which are driving lights) or the fog SFT 576.
BUT who knows what they had in their bin at time of build? Regardless I think the Lucas 576 series lights are very good looking. Originals had 5 rivits in the back. Reproductions have more - 7 I think.

They show up on eBAy periodically.

Well thanks, the car is owned by someone locally, not mine but I'd love a GT. I believe they're the original lights, they are lucas and slightly smaller than the headlamps, I'd guess 5".
