1972 Overlander: Unknown Exterior Electrical Things

Just bought a 1972 Overlander. I was hoping someone could identify these for me:

The round, black mounting thing here; located on driver's side front (there is not one on the passenger side):



The thing on the right seems to be where you would connect power to the trailer, but it's not a typical shore power "receptacle". These are located on the driver's side, near the rear, near the bottom:



The thing on the right is a tiny light, but for what, I don't know. These are located on the driver's side, near the rear:



Any help in identifying these would be appreciated. Thanks!

The tiny light is a reverse polarity light.
IMHO you should disconnect it. It monitors the AC side of things which does not have a polarity. It will also interfer with GFCI breakers.

the first picture, the black circle is the radio antenna base, the last picture next to the polarity light is the fiber optic tail light monitor I believe, it allows you to see your bake lights are working from your tow vehicle, you can purchase an alumn. cover for it as the white poly has worn away.
