Tail lights identification

I bought this pair at an estate sale last Friday. They're in good shape and have Duolamp lenses. I'm just not sure what vehicle they're to. A guy at my friend's body shop that does some work for me wants them to put on his 59 GMC truck, but before I give them to him, I'd like to know what vehicle they go to.

I'm thinking either Ford, Mopar or GM. Any thoughts/guesses?

Thanks.
