New to me, April/May 1968 FJ40, according to the VIN FJ4057032

Trying to sort through a few things as I'm not at all familiar with very early 40s.

Are these the correct tail lights/brackets? Also, were there reflectors next to the lens, on the bumpers?

Web pix are all over the place.

Combination light looks OK, but I don't know what year they transitioned from small round to larger round .

The remnants of the reflectors are there, between the screws for the taillight bracket and the screws for the bumperette.
 
Change from medium to large round tail light was early in during the 69 model year. The early tail lights were the size of the bib lights. Those ended with the 63 model. The middle and large have a molded housing on the back. Middle size are hard to find as is the metal bracket. Nice those are intact. Believe the rear reflectors are still available from Toyota.
 
A little late for this, but I’m on the same situation here trying to find light cover like the one on the picture OP posted. Any leads on those
