I've often wondered about the side marker light issue among Euro cars.   We 
really don't know when the button-style lights were replaced by the other ones, 
and then when the other ones were replaced with the button-style lights 
again.   My recollection is that virtually every 1973 and 1974 Euro car had the 
horizontal marker lights; the few 1976 cars I've seen had the buttons (or, if 
they are in the USA, had the buttons but were retrofitted with generic stick-on 
lights to meet DOT regs when the car was gray-market imported...)
