Are you sure it's a reverse light and not a "Fasten Belts" light?
An automatic should never have received a reverse light.

An automatic should never have received a reverse light. I once hooked up both to an e-body with 727. While not 100% correct, sure looked spiffy when lit.

Any evidence of it being wired in to anything? Is the lamp harness that goes to bulkhead in place? Doesn't seem right....maybe a factory mistake or replaced in the 52 years it's been around.

The car sat for probably the last 30 years. 20 at the guy I bought it from who never touched it and probably ten or more under a tree mostly covered by branches. It was last tabbed in 1980. While it lived a rough life, most of the car was original and complete right down to the original radio. Not cut up or modified in any way. You can see the slip in socket/bulb in the background of the one shot which is common to this type of light assy. Dash is coming out today. If you find it was wired in it is most likely a factory error. Odd mistake....but I guess it could have happened. What style seat belts are in the car? Flip up latch/cover or push button style? Push button style belts would have had seat belt warning dash lamp. Possibly installed the wrong lamp as they are basically the same.
