MG MGA - Lucas LR576 driving lamp

I have a Lucas LR576 driving lamp in very good condition ,except that the inside of the clear lens is "foggy". I have taken it apart, but can't separate the lens from the reflector. Is the glass bonded to the metal reflector? Can they be safely separated in some way?
Thanks!

Pretty sure they are not intended to come apart. New combined lens and reflector units are available, for example at Holden Vintage: https://www.holden.co.uk/p/5_3_4_in_light_unit_for_slr576_wlr576_spotlamps

Probably available cheaper elsewhere.

Steve,

I was able to get a bit of soft cloth thru the bulb opening, and with my index finger move that around to remove the glaze that had covered the inside of the lens. Looks quite good now.
