Default Are there any Ex GPO engineers here? Dorman Lamps

Evening
Are there any ex GPO engineers on the forum?
In my quest to get a small collection of 1970s road lamps, I have bought a mid 70s Dorman Smith Trafilamp with P.O embossed on the side together with battery and bulb details. Sadly it is missing the inside part with the bulb, switch and maybe flasher circuit.
My question is.. if anybody used these P.O lamps around works tents, did they flash or were they static lamps? I know the later square based BT lamps were static but this one pre dates these.
If anyone knows please message me, and if anybody has one, or even the inside bulb, switch etc insert please get in touch, it would be nice to restore it to a working state.
I have included a photo to show the model.
Thanks for any help as always
Rob
