If the taillight doesn't match I would check for signs of a repaint from collision damage. It looks like it spent its life going through automatic car washes and correction is obviously needed.

One thing though is that it looks like the right tail light portion that's on the trunk lid doesn't appear to match. It looks like they used a GS F portion there with the black chrome. It was damaged and that was all they could find, thinking no one would notice, or what?
JDR76 - Any serious interest in it? Since it's local to you, you should check it out in-person.

The tail light is just the reflection from the lighting, nothing actually wrong with it and any car that's been outside at any point in it's life will have swirl marks. The flash from the camera just happen to capture it in the one pic.

It's definitely a beautiful car, but no, I don't have any real interest in it.

The dealer that has it is in a local city that is HUGE for shopping, so there's not way I'll venture over there this week as traffic would be a killer.

That's what I was pointing out a few post ago. There is nothing wrong with the Lights. They both are correct and the same. There is No difference.
