I would agree. There are a few issues with reproduction of NYPD stuff
- There are "show car" reproductions that used "close enough" or "street legal" equipment.
- An example is the wrong sealed beam color or type
- NYPD repaired things and they came back in a different state than they were issued.
- An example would be the sequence of the red/white sealed beams in the aerotwin
- The NYPD standard vs. the "one example" that we can find
- Sometimes there is more documentation of "the odd equipment out" than the standard
- Number of vehicles causing ordering differences
- Both FDNY and NYPD had to take what they could get into stock sometimes
- As recently as COVID FDNY was running a partial fleet of rented/loaner ambulances of a different type and setup than their standard.
- If the grill trim differed within a lot of vehicles this could change grill light options, especially if a grounding surface wasn't present in the same spot.
- You see the grill lights centered on the grill "post" and mounted off to the sides, which appears to be trim package dependant
So I would say signal stat lights of the right size and shape would be a solid bet and more than close enough
