Thanks Dave, rear lights are motorcycle units available from ebay -

...they have the rear light, brake light, indicator and number plate light all in one. They're MOT legal for my car as it's a 1968 reg so there's no requirement for them to be 'E' marked.
It doesn't need a rear fog light either for the same reason, and I used to run it legally with just a single, central brake light but people kept flashing me and telling me that my outboard brake lights weren't working, which was a pain, so I changed to a matched pair.
The 'bible' for lighting is The Road Vehicle Lighting Regulations 1989 (as amended) -

Careful reading of the regs, specifically the requirements (or otherwise) for historic vehicles will light your path to fitting legal, but period correct lights (pun fully intended).
Enjoy!
