Default 1928 Phaeton Tail light

I have recently pulled a 1928 Phaeton out of storage where it sat untouched since 1956. It has a tail light that I wonder if it is original to the car or if it is an aftermarket. Can one of you enlighten me on its origin?

If original, it should have what was termed a "drum" tail light - round and having a depth from the backing plate of something between one to 1 1/2 inches (probably closer to one inch). It would also have had a bracket that would have been bolted to the rear left side of the body on the lower "belt". Hope this helps.

Sorry, what you have is not correct for a 1928 Phaeton. Your tail lamp should look like these.
