I believe the rear hub is original - I cannot be certain about the front Dynohub - though I understand it is from the same timeframe. ( Note that a front lamp bracket was standard on the GA - so presumably the Dyno hub was available.)
The actual lights themselves are post-war I think. The older ones are less bullet shaped, from what I've seen on eBay.

It is definitely a late replacement - I'd say 60's but for sure it's newer than the one on my '53 with a window ALSO - There is witness on the TT - presumably from a TT mounted SA shifter. Good luck finding one though!

Kurt identified the chain guard as coming from another Manufacturer.. Humbar I think. It is not original and does not really fit well.
