Question CIBIE sierra cosworth 3 door headlight or not???

just a query with some of these lights people, now the 3 door cosworth has valeo CIBIE headlights but this one looks different, the top picture on the right it looks clouded where the middle picture it looks clear, do you think this is just a camera fault or did a different model of mk1 have a slightly different light?? also the mounts on the top right are a little different





this one below is a genuine ford / lucas light

The cloudy one was a version fitted to the mark 1 LX models, if you take a look you will find theres no bulb or any wiring in the cloudy part, hence why its cloudy. They fitted them just to make the model look a bit more upmarket with the narrower GL and ghia spec grille but were to tight to make the extra part of the light work.
