+1 on the fender light.
Since JJ said it had "Japan" stamped or cast into it, probably one of the first round of "knock-offs", possibly from the late '70s or '80s.
Later than that you would expect the second round of knock-offs to be from Taiwan and the third round from China.
If it has a bulb, a 6 volt would tell us the intended application would be for about '64 and older, if 12 volt then probably around '65 or later? Something tells me that H-D changed from 6v to 12v around that time frame.

True Classic
I think I will make some kind of prize at the end of the year for the person that guesses most of these. Here is another one. I found these in a box and I thought they were old VW beatle lenses but if they are they dont match any I have seen on line..who is up for the pepsie challenge?
After some searching I found these... http://www.mofoco.com/item/EMPI_98_1066_VW_BUG_BEETLE_EURO_TAIL_LIGHT_LENS_73_79/533/c85m41
But I will post a bunch of parts soon that I cant figure out so stay tuned....

Yep, my first thought was the last years of the original Beetle.
Although I would not have picked up on these being the Euro version and not the North American version.

US version...
The reflex reflectors (clear plastic things seen inside from the back) added to the rear and side marker areas of the running light section of the lenses would suggest these are for the US market.
The ebay ones Bob references don't have this, and are probably for European markets.

The pitted chrome fixings
in the 4th from last photo remind me of bugeye Sprite hood retainers. The are located on the rear deck with the slot facing to the rear. The soft top has pockets in the trailing edge with a mild steel bar providing support.
They were also used on 50s/60s Triumphs too.

Side flap lugs...
Side flap lugs is what I used to call them. They hold the sides down by slipping into a notch on the frame as the top is unfolded and tightened down. They slip into pockets in the side flaps and are riveted on, hence the two parts to make a sandwich around the top material.

Hmm...
If it's 850, I think it's a steering idler arm pivot.
