    Lights: fake (repros) or real?

    What do you specialists have say about these lights?
    Fake (present day repros) or real original parts?
    Please shine some light on this subject!
    As always, your wisdom and technical expertise is very much appreciated.
    Thank you in advance.

    Looks genuine to me...

    Spots/driving/fogs are of course being sold, but I haven't seen H1/H4/Amplilux copies.
    Marchal headlamps probably aren't valuable enough to repop. If you've seen them for sale please post a source.

    These are rally lights, known as "Cibié Pallas", not main headlights.
    The glass is clearly marked as "Cibié" and on the inside there are multiple SEV Marchal markings, as pictured, as both companies shared the same "parent company" Valeo (former Ferodo) since the 70s.
    If anyone has some real and deep understanding/knowledge of this matter, please feel free to step in.
    Thank you.

    Looks like hybrid to me.
    Cibié glass with Marshal back..

    I had several original Marshal and Cibié- I do remember the Marshal had Marshal glass for sure.
    I did not notice Cibié with Marshal back/housing.
