Hi Larry,
I too have/had NOS Carellos sets with that right side reflector “goldening”. I am pretty sure this is a factory flaw during a production run in a certain period. I have seen at least 4 of these “golden” buckets and these were tail lights still in their original Carello boxes un toughed over the years..
There is another production flaw (if you noticed?) on the left side below the turn lens on the euro lenses (orange) there is a 2 inch “red” slash/line. Seen at least 4 lenses with this “birth mark”
Good luck & happy new year.
Keep up the great work
Robert
