Hi Charlie, It is a regular (but original) door from the standard Quarter Master Store (USA standardized QMC) left hand tail light. Jeep, Dodge, GMC, Diamond T, Mack, Harley, Indian, etc. (the whole fleet)

Oh! and I forgot, T-16.

You're lucky Charlie. You have plenty of options. I am surprised you don't have something already.
Incidentally there is a Bombardier Muskeg on Trademe. When I saw it a few months back, I didn't look at the back end to see what they used for tail lights.
We won't see another one listed here for a long time (just guessin')

Ford made their own lamps for T16 so technically, a Guide unit would not be correct. However, it was the same part so as good a place to start as any!

I'd say, a very good excuse to buy a T16!
