Re: tail light
That is the Jno Brown Model 540 Ford-O taillight used in 1923 to 1926. I can't find the previous discussion regarding it. I hope someone else can.
Here is some mention of it:

Re: tail light
Generally change due to many more state motoring laws requiring light to be shown on the license plate. The earlier style little clear was not illuminating enough.
Same today, if the police can’t see your plate at nite, you’ll risk chance of pull over stop.
