Does anyone know if there were subtle differences in the tail lights in the 72 models between the S, Supreme and convertables??

Here is why I ask. I have a lone lower tail light lens that is not the same as the others that I own (including the ones on my car), HOWEVER it has the same part numbers and SAE lettering cast in it (5965251 2). The difference in this lens is that the center two... dividers if you will....are sloped inwards from the top of the lens and are lower than the perimeter. All of my other lower lenses are all straight across and the dividers are the same hight as the perimeter.

Any thought on why this is an oddball?????
