Looks very early like a carriage lamp? I was thinking that due to the carrying handles. Look similar to this one but not exactly. Need to look around and see if there's a name on them.

Seems he sold to Napier in 1912? And possibly raced for them from what I saw..
Don't seem to be worth the whole lot. But what a cool piece of History. I would hold on to them.
Don't guess it has a hi & lo beams. LOL
Very good its actually full working order.
Any ideas how I start to clean it back to its glory
