They didn't ask for a third brake light.

I see, and I had a similar experience at the Brake And Light place. The SPECN year determines what's needed, and since mine was 2015. I needed all the lights a 2015 car needs to be legal in CA.
On my first DMV trip, they forgot to stamp Brake And Light, and I have been told that if they forget, you don't need it. Unfortunately, on my second trip, they stamped it on my paperwork. But, the BAR inspector did ask for it, even before he saw all the paperwork. So that request corresponds to your statement (it's needed).
