Never seen any like that on an active duty truck.

They look like trailer lights of some sort.

There are the old school tail or turn sig lights, FD's used to cut out the front and glue is a reflector lens to make a full face light, pre Gamma Goat lens. My M211 came with them.

This, I found a few articles where the older cats eye lens were cut out, and a lens inserted for more light- it removes the function of black out lights, but certainly made the lights more visible for us civilians.

Back in the '60s & '70s, the surplused MVs used the so-called cateyes. Like my M37 & M211/135s. Also many others. They had a durable cast aluminum housing that was water proof/vibration proof, with BO/cat-eye lens. The cops didn't like them much because the cat-eye was pretty small. Somewhere much more recently a plastic aftermarket full lens became available that lends itself well to roadwork, but not much else, unless they are mounted in a well protected spot.
