John, wasn't the actual headlamp the same & it was just the grille/indicators that were different?, i've just looked to see if i had an old Lucas parts book to see if i could confirm it but they only list car applications, i know the Escort MK2 GL/Ghia had a similar looking headlamp the glass i think was the same but the brackets were different so they will not fit

found a bit somewhere that says the phase 1 has 3 tabs and the phase 2 has 1 but i'd like to see a pic of both as there is a couple on ebay but i don't know the difference.

the phase1 and 2 has different fittings and adjusters. The phse2 has adjusters that slide into the tabs on the headlight. We only have one genuine phase1 and I have only had the headlamps off once but I seem to to remember they were more like the Mk1. She is a pop though with round headlights.

The phase1 customs have square halogen headlights. The populars have round ones. All phase2s have square headlights. The phase1 custom is why we get away with 'backdating' phase2s for the camera

i've just looked at your photos, you have certainly got your work cut out there John, yes the headlamp saga seems to have bought up many suggestions, maybe photograph yours may help?

i'm the bee's knees, i've only found photographs of both types in an old parts book the 78-83 is a halogen with 3 point mounting (two at bottom & one in the middle at the top) also fits Escort MK2 75-80. the 84-85/6 type, there are no mounting points looking directly at it in the photo which may be the one i have linked off ebay which my catalogue may not show the bracket it for some reason?, wasn't it mounted in a outer retaining frame like the round sealed beam idea?
