On my RHD Wolesley they were cute little solid arms about 6 long that dropped down from the B pillar right al the same level as the driver's right and front passenger's left ear.

Re: [MBZ] CL angel from on high.....
I owned a 1958 (?) Wolseley with RHD and semaphore turn signals. This was in Fiji, a former British colony. The car was a 4 speed stick with the gear shifter knob to the RIGHT side of the driver, between the driver's seat and the door sill The shifter was connected to the transmission by some levers that ran beneath the car. These levers from time to time got dislocated, disconnecting the transmission and leaving me with no means of propulsion.
