I'll bet you'll have fun forever looking for one of those fitments Gordon!
My under slung pilot light fitment on my B33 was also missing. What I did though was to buy one of those very cheap LED torches for a £pound and take out the round bulb arrangement (about ten LEDs in a ring) then fit a resister and join wire to modern pilot bulb connected to headlamp globe. The result is quite impressive giving a nice whiter light than the tungsten bulb. I don't think it is enough on its own though and this is probably why Lucas did away with the idea. I use one of Paul Goffs 6 volt 20watt Halogen bulbs, these give a much better light for daytime running.

Hiya Bearcat,
Don't know if it helps but there is a complete headlight with the underslung
parking light on ebay, 2 days to go, up to £53 now. Item number: 170783814310
It's under M/C Parts-BSA- Lighting. Includes switch & ammeter.
Failing that , JRP Classics-Ltd do new repros for £69.99 also on ebay.
Cheers.
