Default H1 on COA?

Thinking of installing H1 headlights on a 70' 911S. These were not standard at the time but optional.
Is this reflected on the COA? Tried finding a COA that has H1 mentioned in there online but without success.
Does anyone here know if this was actually shown on the COA or not?

My experience with COA's is that the type of headlight is not shown.

Anything is possible, but I personally have never seen headlight types mentioned on the COA. I assume the rationale is that all Porsches imported into the USA all had to comply with DOT regulations in force at the time of import. That usually meant sealed-beam headlights up until H5's were allowed.

I reviewed the options lists and only see reference for various fog and driving light options. There's no headlight option code until 1971 when US spec lights were introduced. I don't think a COA would show anything and fact of the matter is that with something so easily reversed as headlights no buyer looking at your car is ever going to care.

The majority of H1's were dealer-installed items.

It might show on the Kardex most likely not on the CofA although if it is a US car AFAIK they were never legal here.
