Do all Euro 911SC's have side marker lights?

I'm looking to buy a 1980 911sc where the owner is saying it is a european car. The vin # states it as one.

However, the car doesn't have the side marker lights. Is this normal? what could be the reason?
I thought all 911 european models had them.

other than that, car has KM speedometer and odometer, and proper H4 headlamps.

The euro side marker warts didn't begin until 82/83.

The side marker lights were first used on cars built for the 1981 model year.
