Tail Light styles

How many different styles of tail lights were used on the first Generation RX-7s?
And how many are interchangeable between different cars?
My Car has this style:


The ones I am look at purchasing now look very similar or possibly the same, but I am unsure. They look like this:


So my question is, are these the same tail lights? or are they not?
