fastback beehive taillight on non-fastback

Anyone modified a fastback taillight to fit a non-fastback? The fastback light looks way cooler slightly rounded edges with the beehive sticking out. I'd like to figure out a way to make this happen on my 73 and welcome any suggestions. I wonder if it is possible to modify the standard square bracket to make it fit. Someone has to have had this idea before me but i cant find it in a search. Any info appreciated. My bike came with a dunstall rear but i hate it and have been told its a generic, non-commando specific dunstall seat anyway. So it's going in the round file and i'm gonna do some kind of manx thing. I think the fastback light would look great. got the rear fender today (not pictured) next project is mounting everything and figuring out the light.

A stock '71-'72 Lucas L679 (beehive) tail light will bolt to a stock Commando fender (roadster or Interstate). Buy one on ebay and you're done.

that number helps thanks. so it LOOKS like this bracket:

works with the L679 lens but not this one:

Are they correct in that it looks like the beehive will fit the pre-73 bracket but not post-73?

On an 850 it will slope slightly downward, not as visually pleasing as the 750 horizontal. Its fixable.
