Here is a picture of one of the two back up lenses I pulled from an '85 Euro 300TD not long ago (along with the rear bumper). The lens looks just like the replacement you purchased from Pelican.



So perhaps the issue is that someone replaced the back up lights on your wagon with a different variety? Therefore a part number for what should be on a 300TD might not be super helpful to you.
Here's the thing, my RED fog light is the exact same size as my current clear, Both are original parts. So I think the issue, is the replacement ones are smaller than the originals. Also, notice how the face on yours is angled in? Mine are flat all the way across.
