Do you have the chrome shell/body, glass & rim? I have a Ruby & an AAL Tourer, both 1937, and their matched pairs of side lights are different sizes!! I don't know if someone replaced one pair or the others. I repaired the bulb holder wires & bulb contact using parts from a BA15S bulb holder. Yes, there is limited space for the wires so I used 'modern' cable? What parts are you particularly interested in. There should be the two parts as in your photos plus 2 clips to retain the reflector part in the chrome rim with glass and the main body.

I have two sidelights (one with a split shell) from a Ruby I used to own. One has internals identical to those in your photos. The other has something very similar but about 1/16" (1.5mm) shorter. As Derek says, there is not much room for the wire, but there must be enough. There may be varieties of these sidelights with slightly different shell sizes and innards, so a set is needed that works together? (The ones on my current Ruby, from February '37, are Mazak rather than brass and look slightly longer.)
