Question TC Cortina - option codes

Does anyone know what option codes (and what they related to) for a TC Cortina? Was their a code for a twin headlight setup?

The head light set up as far as i'm aware, is that:
1972 TC Cortina - Single Light on each site with a Metal grill.
1973 - 74 TC - Twin light setup across the whole range
1974 TD - Square lights
1975 TD - Single round lights with Plastic Grill.
These set up's go for the whole range of Cortina's from L, XL and XLE.

The TC 4 pots had single 7inch headlights and all sixes had quad 5.75 in headlights.
The TD introduced rectangular lights for the XLE and 7in round for lesser models of both 4 & 6's. Later production introduced rectangular lights for all models.

However, all TC's in 4 cyl, (L & XL) were only 7" round lights and all 6's had quad 5.75" lights. The XLE was only available with the 250 auto with a delete option for the 4 speed toploader.
