Is there supposed to be a bezel or lens of some type for the front pilot light of the 39-55?  Haven't seen one pictured that has any kind of bezel, a red tipped bulb stuck in a hole just doesn't seem right.

It had a little red piece of plastic in the hole, no bezel. Original was tenite and has turned to dust.
