The pad for the round lights is rounder at the top and wider too. The entire area is also taller.

Could you advise if there is a bulb in the lower of the two round lenses with a cutout in the 'glass; or, is it just a surface-mounted reflector held on with two screws?
The reflector-type units are no longer available, so we've been using the round lights on the bottom instead.

If just surface mounted, my thinking is that the rectangular lens would cover the cutout of the upper round lens and the top screw hole of the lower round lens, potentially just requiring the lower screw hole for the lower lens to be filled/touched up. Please correct me if I'm missing something.
The profiles really don't match up very well. We've always molded in a new body section for the different-style lights.
