Well my 67 LOS built 03C car is different again.  The rear tail light assemblies have Phillips screw fasteners on the drivers side and pan head screw fasteners on the passenger side.  Does this mean that there were two different assemblers on each side using two different bins?  I never noticed this before, and they are the originals.

Mine does have the same pan head screws as yours Mike.
When you say 'pan head' are you referring to hex? I ask this only because you made a distinction between Phillip and pan head in reply #15

I'm sorry....I meant to say "hex head" screws with the large G and the L inside the G,  imprinted on the head itself.

  Did the tail-lights come into the factory as an assembly?  Is it possible there were more than one supplier?
