I have one of the originals (sorry it isn't for sale) but i thought it'd be worth sending it's measurements, as it is quite different from most of the others from the time. It's a curved rectangular shape, with cutouts and is quite flared. Measuring from the center axis on the front, it is about 6 and a half cm horizontally and exactly 4 and a half vertically. Measuring from the back of the shade (shade to lens) it is a square 4 and a half by 4 and a half cm. Hope this helps somewhat, and best of luck!
