Default Rear lights on f60l

Hello

I thank you for all your answers about the rear lights. Nevertheless at the rear of the body of my F60L there is two holes on each side and the distance beetwen each hole on a side is the same on the other side.
The plate which hold these lights can be mounted on right or left side using what it's seems to be original holes;

I have to add than My F60L has been builded in CANADA and that it's a late model with circular roof hatch

Thanks to all

I can't say that there was never a CMP made with both brake and tail lights on each side, but I can say that I haven't seen one that had them that I could be 100% sure had never been modified since it left the factory. It would have been easy to exchange the mounting plate with one light for one with two lights and add a length of wire to make a safety addition to have tail and brake lights on each side. Once you've done this it shouldn't be hard to imagine using some of the bulbs as signals by adding a bit more wire and the control.
Even though having only the original lights may be legal, I suggest that anyone driving their CMP on today's roads should consider having larger, brighter tail lights, you should make them removable for shows so that people can see just how much standards have changed.

That is the correct mounting bracket that was used on both sides, but there was only one Brake lamp fitted to the right hand side:
