There is an Anchor Light. Also there is a Navigation Light. But the CG does not provide a regulation for a Steaming/anchor light combo.
Here is the info from Boating Magazine showing the CG requirements for boats and specifically Sail Boats.
The image identifies a boat at anchor has an all round light at the top of the Mast. The Aqua 50 as identified by @Nodak7 is a light that gives you a 360 degree light out to 2nm.
The Aqua Signal 40 series could also be used. It can be a single white light or you can mount a dual Anchor and tri color Navigational light. This fixture accepts LED light bulbs. That is what I put a top my mast.
The Steaming light being on the front of the mast is located about 1/3 down from the mast head. The requirement is the steaming light provides a 225 degree white beam out to 2 miles. It must be at least 1 Meter above deck lights.
Here is a combo steaming light and a down shining foe deck light. The Aqua Signal Series 25 Classic.
At least on our 356, we found the "Aqua Signal Series 34 Masthead/Anchor Led Light W/White Housing" to be a direct replacement for the old OEM Aqua Signal light. Mounting holes all matched up.
I believe what is pictured is only the anchor light, on the 41DS the steaming light is a seperate fixture mounted on the front of the mast. Sounds like the OP is looking for a bulb(s) for a combo steaming and anchor
what I have is a combination of anchor and steaming lights. Anchor below, steaming above. Looking to replace both bulbs with LED without two trips up. Just need either a part number or description of the bulb. Probably is a DC Bayonet, my concern is whether or not it's indexed. Indexing in miniature lamps is the two contacts on opposite side of the base NOT being directly across from each other.

Ok George.
Try this link.
Try this link.
thanks for the link. That is the fixture I have up there. Problem is that while I fully believe in profit, in manufacturing sales myself, I won't pay $51 each for a bulb that can be bought for less than $10 elsewhere.
I replaced both my anchor and steaming light on my 2009 H36 back in 2018. The fixture Hunter installed on my boat is the Aqua Signal 40 series Masthead Combo light. I can send photos from the top of the mast if needed. Here's the Defender item numbers for the two bulbs. I chose the more expensive LED replacements because they need to meet Coast Guard standards, and I did NOT want to be replacing them again.
A quick search found these inexpensive, and supposedly marine LEDs specifically advertised as Aqua Signal 40 Series replacements:
Aqua Signal Series 40 LED Bulbs (marineledshop.com)
To open the fixture I believe you have to turn housing anti-clockwise and then maybe push down and turn? It should then remove allowing bulb replacement. Here's the fixture with the parts numbers if you want to research them yourself, to include some links that I found helpful (hopefully they still work). Since the below is a graphic, here's the live links you can copy and paste into your browser rather than retyping:
Imtra Tower Navigation Bayonet LED Replacement Bulb
Dr. LED White Polar Star 40 Navigation LED Replacement Bulb
Double-Contact Indexed BAY15d 18-LED Surface Mount Cluster
BAY15d Replacement LED Bulb for Aqua Signal Series 40, 50 & 55
Dusk-to-Dawn Automatic Photocell LED Anchor Light Bulb
If you can't read the part numbers here's a slightly bigger blowup:

Just updated my post with a good link to $12 marine LED bulbs specifically for that fixture. Good luck. And while you're up there, get some photos of the boat from the top of the mast (cool angle), and EVERYTHING at the top of the mast, from every angle. A month or six from now you'll be thinking, "DANG, If I only knew what (fill in the blank) was up there I could just order a replacement online, now I have to go back up there. I shoulda taken photos or a video!"
