Ford was probably using up excess 1966 Fairlane wagon taillights. The '67 wagon had a different len. Or, it could be an owner swap.
Detroit would occasionally use excess trim from another year or vehicle model on lower volume production models and on special edition trim models. It made the vehicle seem unique to other vehicles in the same line, yet was economically sound by holding design costs down. Early in the year production models would get this treatment, also, using up the previous year's trim.
I believe that the taillights are the same as the station wagon models from '67 - I had a ranch wagon, and they seem the same or at least very similar.
Best of OPC.

I'm more of a fan of the Falcon ranchies, but this one looks to be in fair shape.
