You could even ask the repair place doing body work to help you run around as they will have contacts.
Failing that get one dhl from UK...

Hi! Yes I went to Auto Plaza and asked to each single shop inside, also showing the picture of the van. Unfortunately nobody could help, although someone called friends/colleagues to get news about possible spares for a Transit MK3 in UB.
I also tried in other shops, including those specialized in German cars, but nothing.
In addition, I went to the Mongol Rally finish line and spoke with local organizers to figure out if anyone knew about old Transit imported e.g. from England and dismantled in UB. The could not help because a register of such vehicles does not exist, and mostly all the vehicles were sold.
Anyway the headlight is not a problem anymore as I went to a very big second hand market somewere in UB together with the body worker who is fixing my van... We have found out the light of a old car which is quite similar to the Ford one. The body worker is attaching it to the chassis in some way, and in a couple of days I should be able to continue my Mongolian tour. I will replace the light with the correct one once back to Italy.
Cheers
