The one/ones I remember seeing positioned the tail light much closer to the stake pocket so when you stood behind the truck, the lights were on the same plane horizontally and equal distance from the center line of the truck. Notice how the ones in your images place the light out away from the stake pocket. It looks like a driver side 2WD bracket that has been flipped over and the license plate bracket modified.

However, I have only one photo of the one I saw back in the early 80's, and I was taking it from a rear 3/4 view to show the light. I never took a photo of from the front 3/4 to show the bracket. What was I thinking?

Since you have found two of them, they very well may be original. And maybe Dodge outfitted so few trucks with them that they may have never really advanced beyond the protoype stage. I would certainly like to find out for sure. If these are original it would halp explain why there are so few of them out there, they stick out even farther than the diver's side to snag on brush/trees/fence posts.
