It looks like the area that those tail lamps are mounted has been altered. Can you tell if the piece was put over the original panel? It's hard to see them up close, even though I clicked on the larger size. From what I see, maybe they're a RV style tail lamp. Can you see the back side of the bed corner from underneath? Maybe you can remove them and repair what was done back to original.

I think they are back up lights that were an option for 1957-1960. I don't think they were a popular option. I have only seen one other truck with them in a yard years ago when I was looking for parts for the '59 I had at the time. The lenses should be clear and you used to be able to get them from Sac Vintage Ford.

Sorry about that. I searched my parts illustrations and text and it doesn't show anything for back up lamps. I remember seeing lots of that style beds from 57-63 with those style lamps. It may have been a dealer installed option, but I see no reference to anything in the books. Some of the early Econoline vans had those also. I owned a 61 Econoline with those lamps.Are there any numbers on the lenses?
