Default Truck Diff Light

Hello All,,
Nothing good on TV so I am checking the Australian War Memorial for photos of truck beds. I just came across a photo of some people repairing a 3 ton truck diff. It shows what could be??? a diff light ???. Could those in the know check the photo and see if the thing at roughly 10 O'clock on the diff could be a light?

Photo is found at the Australian War Memorial Photo ID Numbe: 027880

Kind Regards
Lionel

The diff lights don't mount on the rear end. They mount on the rear crossmember and shine down and ahead to illuminate the white on the diff housing.
If the tail light you've got is chrome it's likely not wartime.
The clips on top of the diff will be for the brake lines.
