You are probably right about it not being a Pony Design. The black one looks to have a slightly thicker bead.

The headlight holders look IT.

is there any markings on the back at all  like made in Italy or ART? could be some ancient Cemoto or Stilmotor item.

I'm no Montesa expert :P but Monty did have a few enduros with black headlight surrounds but to the best of my knowledge they were headlight holders/ number plates rather than separate head light and cutout number plate.
