Well, I have just been informed that I have wasted a LOT of time looking
for threaded bulbs which do not exist:

The threads are part of the lamp holder and what looked like the last
thread to me, is actually the flange on the actual bulb, which can be
removed from the lamp-holder.

Thanks!

Thats exactly right the threads are part of the flange. I have still been
looking for the magical flanged green lens for a 5061.
I have a sort of ok unit in there but isn't the same as HP.
