Differences in DT2 Style tail light lenses was created by landyr67g

Looking to replace my broken Stanley 4 1/2" round tail light lens.  This is the lense with the small round "reflectors" molded into the sides.  There are various replacements avail in what appear to be two styles.  One has a radius at the edge of the rear facing surface like my original while the other has a very distinct protuding wall around the edge.  Almost creates a rearward "cylinder" looking effect. Why the difference? 
Thanks,
JoeM

The rounded lens like yours was used on the 1971-1973 models, the '74 and newer switched to the lens with the ridge and the larger diameter reflectors built into the sides. Both will fit and function the same, but the correct original appearance for your DT2 would be the radiused edge lens (somewhat less common to find replacements for than the newer version, but still plentiful).
