Are 1969 Datsun 510 rear side marker lights (round red) same as 1969 Roadster?

Are 1969 Datsun 510 rear side marker lights (round red) same as the 1969 Roadster? They appear to be the same Everwing light, at least from looking at pictures. Can someone verify that the same light was or was not used in both applications. Thanks.

The angle of the rubber mounting is 90 deg off.

[fairlane292]

Thanks. Not sure what you mean by 90 deg off though since they both mount on the side of the rear qtr panel. Did you possibly mean 9 deg off, meaning that the rubber mounting pad/gasket has slightly different angle?

I don't remember how many degrees off, but the 510 ones don't look right on a Roadster because of the different angle they end up.

So the chrome trimmed body and lens are the same but the rubber mounting pad is different?

[steve_car]

yes
