If the plate was ABC 123C format - the C is visible - it would be 1965, though less dateable 123 ABC plate format also possible and may be better for single headlights.....

If you stare at them long enough it looks as if the UK plate is showing through as 8xx YWC - issued Essex Nov-Dec 63; unfortunately this is just over a year too late for a single-headlight car. Bxx or Bxxx YWC would be impossible for a UK car until 1985.
