Hmmm... It may appear that only the bulb assembly is different, but the rear tailamp assemblies on pre-facelifted W140s (1991-94) are completely different that for post-facelifted one (1994-1999).
The bulb holders are completely different as also the shape of the tail lamps themselves (pre-facelift are squared off at corners and post-facelift are rounded, so trunk itself is different in shape to fit the different shapes).
Also the lower white reflection bar is completely different. Pre-facelift is a one piece set from side to side of the car. Post-facelift is a shorter piece fitting between the new lamps.
I have seem a few pre-facelift rear lamps converted to post-facelift setup, but can only be done at a shop.
The first four pics below are various interpretations of post-facelift rear lamp assemblies. The last pic is of a pre-facelift model. Notice the clear difference between setups.
