I have a Tombstone on my 05 Springer Softail Classic (in sig) and noted that some of the aftermarket tombstones don't have an indentation in the plastic part where the bulbs reside for a small bulge of the fender to fit up into the light fixture a little bit. If you have an aftermarket one with a smooth back, it won't fit on a bike designed for an OEM tombstone. Possibly not on any OEM rear fender? Someone feel free to correct me if I am wrong.

The one I have is off a Harley and I was surprised at how much different it was than the one I had on a 49 panhead I owned in the 80s. This one looks like you have to remove the whole unit to change the bulb.
