Good morning, the lamps currently on your car appear to be Lucas LB 130 (and might be of my manufacture). They weren’t introduced until the RP in 1933. The black lamps are Lucas R47 and were fitted to RN’s when the model was first introduced but were fitted with the excellent Lucas-Graves twin filament dipping bulbs (why Austin’s stopped using this system goodness only knows). Late in 1931/early 1932 Lucas 35/32 lamps were introduced still with the Lucas-Graves dipping bulbs. Both lamps used ‘reeded’ glasses to ‘restrict the glare of oncoming headlamps’!!
The column mounted dip switch is correct for your car.
