I also own a French 230 SL.  A very early 64.

Do the French cars have the yellow reverse lights? Or was that something else.

Not so sure about that, Rob, but I have seen yellow head light lenses before.
Seems to be a France issue but I am not sure. No hint on this in the parts lists. Only for a few years used AFAIK.
The car you are showing is Italian (Fiat 500 side marker turnsignal lamps, number plate)
