Cavalier rear dome light question

The Dome light in the back seat of my 1954 Cavalier has gone to the dark side.

I'm not quite sure how to remove the cover to replace the bulb.

I assume the metal bezel just pulls off but I hate to break things and the plastic lens could likely be brittle and doesn't appear to come out..

The light is a plated metal rectangle with a fairly flat rectangular frosted plastic lens.

It looks like a bayonet base type bulb and not one of those tubular things. (I have a ton of 6 volt miniature lamps).

I went to some trouble to restore all the door switches and the little switch in the pillar.
