What year and where are they used? I don't seem to recognize them.

A problem you may well encounter is that numerous sockets and connectors used in C3s are not available to ordinary human beings (at least not in reasonable quantity). The companies that buy then for use in making new harnesses will not sell them. In those cases you have to find used ones or buy "repair pigtails" or even entire harnesses.

It’s a tail light socket, but they have been used in other applications.
Be fair, would be happy with just the terminals/pigtails if I could find them

Is this what you're looking for? It certainly does not look the same. Perhaps yours has already been changed.
