My mum's 1960 Morris Minor had orange (not red/white) indicators, at
least
when mum bought it second-hand in 1966. They may have been fitted
after-sale,
because it also had trafficators that still worked. I wonder if Mum had
them
fitted when she bought the car.

I don't remember any white indicators, except in US cars. I half
remember a conversion of the mechanical arm trafficators, where the
trafficator slot had a fixed orange sticky out lens mounted over the
slot, with a built-in flasher.

I don't *think* mum's Morris Minor had *flashing* lights in the trafficator
arms. I think they were just rather dim permanently-on orange lights (as
white bulbs in an orange housing). They worked in conjunction with the
flashing indicators front and back, for a couple of years, but eventually
jammed and blew a fuse, so dad disconnected the wiring to them.
