That's not a volvo air con system. It's after market mate. You have a fan on the condensor for starters and in the 2nd pic the big can and hoses are in the wrong place.

Yes I noticed it's left hand drive 480. The loom is also different.

Chances are a local motor factors has the book and can match the bulb up. I did that for the info center bulb I think. (years ago)

No problem Raff. I would say leave it alone unless you strip the inlet manifold down then you could remove it and bin it.
