Then the one I have ( a tube about 18" long with terminals at one end and a
bulb at the other ) may possibly at one time been a bow light because of the
R and G embossed letters. This is gonna make it a lot easier to find a glass
globe. I have been running it with just an exposed bulb.

Perhaps so, but it could also be just a fixture that was handy to put
a light onto.

For boats under 12 meters, the rules are a little looser. Put
plainly, you can run with a all-round light at the stern of the vessel
only, but if you use red/green side lights, it's mandatory or you can
use the stern light which is 135 degrees.

One point worth noting is that if you use the 135 degree stern light,
then you must have the forward facing mast head light.
