Joseph, I have an extra tail lite assembly for a 95 U280 and I believe that the later 270 is the same.  The one I have is marked LEFT HAND but I am not so sure that they do not interchange. 
The top of the lens is Yellow, Center red and lower is backup light.
Here is a photo.
If you need this one let me know.
These are available as a crash part thru any body shop for about 50 bucks their cost.
If you are anywhere near Atlanta, GA. Let me know.

Joseph, As far as I know these tail lites come from about 93 to 99 Ford E series vans.

Most likely that is correct, as one of my vans 2008 Ford, light is very very close but no cigar, look the same except the backup light, and amber turn are lil different.  But James at Xtreme has the correct answer, install the new LED setup, looks great and much brighter, about $1700.00 end of problem :))
