Where can I get the chrome trim from around the headlight? I have looked at many online and even purchased a pair but they are not the same fitting. The inside edge on the morgan ones are flat with a type of bayonet fitting and sort of twist on before being secured with a screw. The ones on sale seem to be round on the inside edge and these don't secure properly. I have looked at the ones on Melvyn Rutters but thy do not look to have the flat edge. Any ideas of best place to secure a pair? What car were these originally from? Mine are on a plus 4 2014. ( or the remaining one is as one has fallen off somewhere).
Thanks for any assistance.

Quality is questionable these days, and there are two depths. My 2016 has the deeper profile. Stainless are also available.
Fitting is hit and miss, and it helps to add some neoprene profile around the inside which makes the fit tighter, and also reduces the whistle......................

Andy, lots of options here & if they (surprisingly) won't fit, Mini Spares are good at taking stuff back https://www.minispares.com/search/classic/headlamp%20rims%20.aspx
