Yes, the standard map light was rectangular and it either came w/ a blacktrim pices or chrom trim piece. You already described the deluxe dome light w/ 2 maps (it was in a chrome housing). PM me for the lens you need.

My 86 XL has alot of XLT trim and options in it that were ordered from the factory buy the orig owner.The only Xl stuff is the vinyl seat and rubber floor mat and no air has everything else on the inside as a XLT.I took my under hood light apart when I got it and it had a broken contact I used a part out of a old skill saw switch to repair it.Door panels don't have woodgrain but carpeted pockets and chrome trim all the way around it.

It goes to show you could order these trucks any way you want it. Mine is the XLT model but has the rubber mat instead of carpet. I have ac,cc,tilt wheel,tach & gauges,map pockets,deluxe interior light,20 ft. worklight,cargo lamp,camper special with towing package (oil cooler,trans cooler,8 tie downs) and thse are what I have found so far.

I used a set of door speaker brackets off of a 1992 Ford Taurus for rear speaker "holders". I used a piece of plumbers tape to extend the bottom bracket "arms" so they reach. I then used a pair of speakers E9AF-18808-AA Premium speakers, with the factory speaker baffles. Works great too, and people think it's stock when they look. 
. Really the only "non-stock" mod I've done to the old girl.

To Old Tired Rebel:
I do not have pictures of that mod unfortunately. The ex took the scanner and the camera, so I do not know when I'll be able to get more pics either.
=======================
To Srercrcr:
The cargo light wiring has an in-line diode that only allows power to go one way.
In this way, all the lights turn on with the light switch, including the cargo lamp, using the Black/Pink stripe wire, it goes through the diode to the Black/Blue stripe wire energizing them both.
And in turn it prevents power from going backwards through the diode to the Black/Pink wire when the door switch is activated energizing only the Black/Blue stripe wire.
This diode is prone to burn out and it will either:
A: Let power through both ways so the cargo light comes on with both the door switch and the light switch. Which is no big deal really, and is the most comon occurance.
or...
B: The light switch will only turn on the cargo light and the inside cab lights wont function with the light switch. This can be a pain.
You can see the In-line diode in the wiring diagrams. It also shows the direction of power flow the diode allows.
hope this helps...
