The middle tree goes to the AMT '59 El Camino. Large lens is half the custom tail lights for the custom tailgate.

I don't think they are. The parts you're talking about come to a sharp point, not rounded off like that. Plus they have vertical ridges on them. 

AMT did a lot of crazy custom stuff back then .

Wow. I'm always amazed by the members knowledge here in our forum. I wouldn't even know where to begin looking. Thanks!

The one in the upper right has two taillights with long rods sticking out. Like they would be installed into something thick. But looks like a taillight to a 59 Imperial. Or maybe a late fifty's Dodge?

Upper left are AMT '29 Ford/Ala Kart double kit.  That parts tree (when intact) includes a set of 4 small bullet taillights as well.

I had never seen the '63 Bonneville custom taillights. Wild!

And finally, the ones on the upper right are from the AMT '62 Mercury Meteor. You're missing the larger custom lenses that plug into the tail fins, but you have the stock lenses, plus four bullets that, oddly, aren't mentioned on the instruction sheet.
