I never checked to verify but years ago I was told by one of the suppliers that
the front right and rear left were the same as well as left front and right
rear.

Interestingly, although the Ford parts book only lists them for front and
rear (and the Ford parts book doesn't offer the lenses seperately--the lights
are only offered as an assembly there), last time I looked at one (on
Lori's '71 #1765), all four were different, marked as left rear, right rear etc.
The Wilkinson parts book lists different part numbers for the left rear and
right rear, and right front and right rear (and further spells out that
they were cast until #1651 and plastic thereafter). The Italian parts book
shows one listing for cars up to #1110, a second one to #1650 and a third one
from #1651 on, again, specific for the four corners of the car. Curiously,
they are not all listed in the same place in the parts book; the first ones
are on page 6, and the latter two on page 40.
Makes sense, right? :>)
