I believe these are the right ones. The centre cap is actually the same as the centre cap on the 67-69 Beaumont rally wheel.

I'll have to see if I can find my old photos, but I'm pretty sure that the '68 I had in 1980 had amber lenses.

I believe 1968 was the transition year for white to amber turn signals.
"1968 marked another change:
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 108 required amber
(rather than the earlier white) lens front turn signals;
rear signals could be red or amber.
Note: It was also in the sixties that 4-way hazard flashers were first required".
Clear lens with amber bulb.
Often seen with a nice Full Wheel Cover. (likely standard on SD396 and parking lenses do look clear in this 1968 rendering)
