Thanks guys! So, if I get it correctly, a flat unit (ok, very slightly curved), H1 and H4 would be correct for a European version. Did I understand correctly?
Was there a particular brand fitted from the factory? Hella? Bosch?
Thanks again,

however, there was a time when many US states required yearly inspections. Part of the inspection process involved testing that the headlights were properly aimed.
If your euro coupe has the city light parking light in the low beam unit then you use four H1 lamps. In the US the low beam is H4 (two filaments) and high beam is H1.
Thanks Chris! Pretty clear now.
Isn't SAE M a motorcycle light? I think technically they aren't approved for automotive use (but I sure see them marketed that way a lot).
I stand corrected. They are DOT approved H4 sealed beams. I've never seen such a thing. My apologies for doubting you Chris!
FYI - They also have a very slight curve to them. Nothing like the bulbous sealed beams on my donor car.
Yes, interesting, fwiw, those lights pictured have the M and are designated motorcycle lights.
I doubt it matters if the lights are aimed. I am about to do that on my fleet. They are all out of whack.Yeah I see. Fortunately I have never driven my project car at night. I'm still wrapping my head around H4 sealed beams...
