From the pictures, it looks like the rectangular tail lights are about 5" long; whereas the dual-round tail lights pair looks to be about 7-1/2" from top to bottom of the cluster (I "guesstimated" from the 6" license plate.) That's a lot of space around a rectangular tail light, if you were so inclined to mount one on the pad that originally has round ones. It probably wouldn't look so great, IMO.
Good point - height of the flat pad is probably the biggest difference.
