The 30-1305 3 volt has incadescencts for the tender backup light , the Firefox and headlight. Later I'll have to get back to you John for LED installations maybe with markers also.
What is the best bulb type for this replacement now ?
All PS/2 incandescent bulbs are 6V 60ma rated. I use a 220 Ohm resistor and a warm white LED for replacements. Typically, I use flangeless LEDs, they are the same size as the incandescent bulbs, see below for example.
Can't wait to do the BSR install. Judging from the photos of the BSR , and looking at the charging port in the tender ,it doesn't look like any issue plugging the male connector into the port on the board. 🙄

Just pull the 2-pin connector off the top board, plug the supercap replacement into the socket, job done.
