Been busy with the dremel; this is the final fit on the rear, though I may take it all off some time to clean up and improve sealing.
I half expected the lens to be slightly blocked by the plastic surround, but it's just clear - so no external trimming required, though I would probably have remounted the camera on thicker backing to avoid that.

Pictures of camera view, rear of car (spot the camera and admire LED reversing lights) and finally a close-up of camera from level behind (still see if you can spot it!).
Pretty pleased so far, "just" internal wiring to do now.
