Dammit, I got the second one apart, and I was washing out the inside with windex, I dropped it and cracked the hell out of it. Need a new lense, or a set of starion lenses. I just find it a little funny I got it apart no problem, than I broke it trying to clean it lol.

The European ones, they have a rear foglight in them (a European mandate), that's the large white light your thinking of

 

then there's what I think is the JDM one, which has a large central brake light in each tail light instead of the high mount one

These are Aussie Tails, JA I believe.

Yes, I believe those are the Aussie lights. I don't care for the blocks. The one D_venable posted were of mine:

The big block is somewhat annoying and I need to rewire it so it is not a running light (which is how I initially wired it). I think the JDMs resemble the OEM Starion lights for the US market more than the Aussie ones.

Also keep in mind that when you go to the amber lenses, you remove the red running light portion of our cars which technically make them illegal for US market. US cars have to have visible amber lights in front and red in the rear when viewed from the side to indicate direction of travel. The old Supras had rear amber lenses and had an additional red running light:

I still need to come up with a tasteful solution for my lenses.
