    911s didn't have the parking light in a sealed beam headlamp unit. That could be for a 356A or a VW.

    Stoddards sells something like that for $ 83.30.

    Ja, it has a VW part # 111-941- etc.
    356 has a mounting tab on the bottom of the trim ring.

    Maybe you have headlights pieced together from 911, 356, and VW parts. Your photos didn't give a good look at the trim ring.

    There's a discussion of the markings on 356 headlight lenses at 356 Talk.

    356 headlights also have different placements of adjusting screws, some are more rare than others.

    Having said all that, though, the VW part number indicates a VW headlight and the markings on your lens do look like the markings on my VW's headlight lenses.
