Good explanation, Kev.
As for S/130 cars, they don't use the earlier system of black plastic buckets pop-riveted onto the lower valance fiberglass. Presumably the factory felt these plastic buckets were not capable of supporting the weight of the square 8 lamps so needed a (pretty heavy) metal bracket. The S/130 cars have a one piece valance with molded in fog/driving lamp buckets, and I guess the glass is sufficient to support the lamps (along with large washers).
Nice. Thanks for that info on the S/130s . . .
