Default Whose lenses are these?

My landing light lenses are in need of replacement...
Can anyone identify the manufacturer of the lenses? I was hoping for ordering direct replacements like duckworks has(although these are not duckworks). Three nut plates secure the bottom side and the top is fit into a track. Appears to be 3/32" thickness, but just a guess.
Thanks in advance!

The important thing is the curvature of the leading edge, you could trim the Duckworks, or pretty easily homebrew one.

If they have black anodised parts they are probably Steve Barnards lights.

I agree, they are BAC (Barnard Aircraft Company).

No longer in business.

As already mentioned, since everyone's lens fits the inside shape of the wing skin, you could make replacements from anyone's lenses.
