Two tail lights an option?

Yes. DeLuxes came with 2 tail lights. Standards came with one. Read about it here.

It also appears that you 40 is an early production model as the ashtrays pull out. Later ashtrays push in and up.
Does your car have a front sway bar?
One last suggestion. Take millions of photos of each part of your car including the paper work to preserve provenance and history. Before you take something apart, take photos.
Document everything you do. First thing you should do is write up a complete,detailed history of the car as best you can. Then update it as you go.
