Real ones, which existed only in three countries, none of which were in the Americas, and only were used in post-'32 production where local lighting standards required separate bulbs for the brake and tail lamps are rarer than hen's teeth. Unlike the wannabe creation, the originals had no 'Duolamp' stamped into them.

So, sure I'd like to find another one, but it is highly likely that won't happen and the curved red lens in an original '32 housing is preferable to an inaccurate reproduction of a lamp housing that did not exist in 1932, at least to me.
