These typically have a larger identifying tag opposite the bezel screw that provides access to the light bulb as well.

And a few more tags that were available; pending on what type of vehicle it was fitted to:
I include this as many departments would re-use spotlights from year-to-year and, while the police cars of the '70s were predominantly fitted with black-handled lights, these could still be found regularly; especially among smaller departments.

Note the flatter identification tag at the top; handles can be interchanged with the white-handled variant in most cases.

There's the CHP variant:
Essentially, a standard Unity S6 with a flat black paint job and red-tinted bulb.
Then there's this variant:
It's a conventional Unity S6 Spotlight, but the tag is mounted 90° to the right of the bezel screw. It's not so simple of a change as replacing the ring, either, if you want to go from one type to the other. There's a notch in the spotlight housing that the corresponding tab in the bezel resides in.
