Does any one know why these are so much cheaper than all the other replacements I have seen?

Well it is listed as a direct replacement and Lucas are a quality brand, these round headlamp units were pretty universal at one time ie: MGBGT, Jaguar XJ series outters etc etc...I think you will be looking at a universal part used on many vehicles and as such cheaper than a supplier listing it JUST for a T25. Two choices, if it doesn't fit then send it back but generally I find EuroCarParts pretty good at getting things right.

It does say it's made by Hella, looks like its a Lucas boxed part very good price if it is.

They don't fit anyway, they do not have the "Beazale" (sp?) that is fixed to the existing ones.
