By "headlight"....do you mean the complete headlight (bucket,bezel etc.) or the bulb?

If we are talking about the headlight bulb (sealed beam unit) ....it was "seelite" and said so on the bulb.

(I might not have the exact spelling of "seelite" but that is what it was.) Factory photos show this clearly.

The reference ORD Manuals confirm the same C.B. SEELITE Bulb as MB.
