Boot lock?

The rear indicators are located right across a crease, in my opinion it's easier and cheaper to design an indicator to fit the C5 than design the C5 to fit an indicator.

I'll take up that bet  :P I know how lazy the motor industry was back then  ::)

I can't guarantee overnight success, but I'll put a brand new 1 pence piece on the line and bet that they've been used on something... even if it's something nobody's thought of like a Honda C90...  ???

I believe they were made by Sinclair along with the front ones too (I think I've read somewhere that the Sinclair ones are lighter than the usual British Leyland items)

From what I've seen the Sinclair ones have no markings and BL ones would have to conform with various regulations.

Definitely not off a Honda Cub - I have one and they're completely different ;)

I use a cheap filing cabinet lock with some 3d printed plastic bits to make it fit the boot hole, they look great and cost about £4

Not selling them as a complete replacement, but if you want the 3d bits let me know. The lock is a cheap filing cabinet lock from ebay.
