Early 3B Marker Lamps

So I have these for sale over on the classifieds page. I was rummaging through some unused parts that need to be cut loose. They definitely came out of a 53' 3B that I parted some 10 years ago. They are wider diameter than early CJ5 units. I never noticed that early 3B's used different lamps. Am I mistaken?? There is still some Spruce Tip Green paint on them, making me pretty sure they were original. They sure look original. Thoughts??

There's also WOA stamped on the inside of the housing. Can we assume this means Willys Overland America??

I believe some Bs had larger front markers than the more common and smaller ones found on other jeep models such as the earlier cj5.

I’ve been told I was wrong but I sold a pair of these years ago and while researching their application before listing them sale I found info somewhere describing the ones I was selling as correct for a 3B of some vintage.
 
I just checked a 53 and a 54 and they both had the WOA lens and bodies.
Radiator Guards were painted before the lamps were inserted so the overspray is not factory.
 
Woodstock is a '53, and has those. Maybe the green is "Woodstock Green poly"? In my experience, a lot of '53's were that color. and I like to think because when someone walked in the showroom or lot, they said- "I'll take that one". It is the color everyone liked, and still does. I should have had you send those with the headlight buckets.
 
I'm not sure I know what Tim meant but if someone needs a set of the WOA parking lights I might have an extra set under the crap on my toolbox.
Can't commit till I find them.
