Fuel Diaphragm

*DVG (yellow with green writing)

*APG (white with red writing)

*APG (white with clear cover)

Bulb Boxes

*Philips Blue/Yellow

*Osram Blue/Orange

*Osram Grey (12V version shown)

These other two need confirmation:

*ESSO Clear top/Orange bottom 

*Osram Clear/Orange

    (not sure if original to travel kits)

Note: The Bulb Boxes were sewn in-place into the travel kits. So, the correct bulb box would fit snugly in the kit.

^ the Osram Grey Bulb Box shown above is for a 901/911

^ Osram Grey Bulb Box

Note: "901" version shown with 12V bulbs

The following two bulb boxes are possible alternatives but need confirmation from the original owners if these were included in their kits. Regardless, these are not the typical Bulb Boxes found in Porsche Travel kits.

NOTE: Most people do not think the Osram Clear/Orange Bulb box is original to Porsche Travel kits. 

^ this Bulb Box was in a 356C Travel kit purchased in 1964. After scouring the internet, I have determined that this is an "ESSO" 6V bulb kit. Another "anomaly" of that kit was that it was a RED bag kit, and not the "typical" GREY bag.
