Have you ever taken a close look at some features of cars we term ‘ordinary’? It seems like presently ordinary features are either refashioned to fit into luxury cars or just added to the luxury car without any form or remodeling. A good example is the rear light of the Volkswagen lT35 produced between 1989 and 1993. Ever noticed that it’s exactly the same as the Hummer 2 rear lights produced in 2002? Yes it is. Now is this due to lack of creativity on the part of the Hummer manufacturers keeping in mind the production dates or did the manufacturers decide that this particular rear light would complement the luxury Hummer 2. Don’t believe me? Take a look.

Another example is the rear light of the Toyota Tundra 2012. Now it is exactly the same with the Toyota Land Cruiser Prado 2012 only inverted.

Most people will argue that they are both Toyota product but they are different models and the Land Cruiser Prado can be called a Luxury SUV while the Tundra is a rugged pickup. Did the manufactures decide to save their ideas for another set of cars or were they making sure that both models can easily have their rear lights replaced. Your guess is as good as mine.

The lights that you pictured are not the same.

1) Car manufacturers routinely farm out parts to sub contractors with their specs.

2) It is possible that similar designs find themselves on different manufacturer due to design cues.

3) The lights will never have the manufacturers name or emblem but the subcontractors logo and name.

If it works why recreate the wheel? RV manufacturers and big rig manufacturers typically just use off the shelf parts that do not need to have the design element of a heavy duty vehicle.

So in short, if it works it's okay.
