Overview
Datsun 1200 uses the standard 7-inch round sealed beam headlamp. 12V large round headlights from *any* car will fit circa 1956-1986. Both Koito and Ichiko (IKI) were original equipment.
NOTE: Large round (7") headlights from *any* car will fit the Datsun 1200.
B110, B210, and round-headlight B310 all use the same parts.
North America
7" round sealed beams are type 6012/6014 for a two-headlight system (a single large round lamp on each side of the car). These are "dual beam" lights (two-filament), encompassing both regular and high-beam in the same sealed beam unit. Recommended is type H6024, which is a direct-replacement but higher power (65W/35W) bulb. About $13 on Amazon.com.
RHD vs LHD
The left side and right side headlamps are the same - each car uses two of the same headlights. However, RHD (right hand drive) pattern is reversed from LHD - the lens pattern and high cutout is on opposite sides. If you fit RHD headlights in a LHD country or vice versa, it will blind oncoming traffic. So when importing cars, change the headlights to the locally approved type. Or you could fit tape to the lights as is done for visiting cars in Europe.
Rectangular Head Lamp
Square Headlights were IKI supplied. B122 starting in October 1989 uses square headlights.
NOTE: These appear to be same as B310 square headlights with buckets swapped left/right. But the adjuster screws and grommets are different.

These are type 6012/6014 for a two-headlight system (a single large round headlight on each side of the car). These are "dual beam" lights (two-filament), encompassing both regular and high-beam in the same light.
Note that the original specification 6012 headlamp is only 50W/40W. You can substitute the brighter 6014 which is 60W/50W. Type 6015 is a longer-life bulb, but more expensive.

Alternatively, and recommended, H6024 (65W/35W) is a halogen replacement. Halogen is a brighter light, and now available in shades of blue, gold, white. Street-legal in USA.
The brighter 6014 is as inexpensive as $3. See RockAuto headlights for Datsun 1200
