US '86-'93 240 models use plastic headlight lenses. In fact, the entire headlight unit is different. '81-'93 European 240 models use glass headlight lenses. They do not interchange. The US type is glued to the headlight. The European type is clipped onto the headlight.

The turn signal lenses are also different. The two screw holes on the front line up quite well, but the third hole on the side is not in the same place. It is possible to put a European turn signal lens on the US housing by attaching it with the two front screws only. However, as you have found out, the US lens does not even fit on the European housing well enough to screw it on.
