2005 S4 Tail Light Confusion!
So I decided to purchase a 2005 S4 from someone I knew. The only issue was it had a cracked passenger side tail light.
Not knowing there were 2005 and 2005.5 versions of the S4, I tracked down a replacement tail light for a S4 of my year. But it turned out today, it doesnt fit! I looked around and found two different styles of S4 for 2005, but cannot seem to pinpoint which version my S4 is. I thought mine was a B6, but when I looked at the tail lights for the B6, they don't match my S4's tail lights... So then I looked at the B7... and some of those looked exactly like the B6's tail lights!
So I need some help! Can anyone tell me what 'version' of the 2005 S4 I have? Any direction from those in the know would be awesome, thank you.

Below are some images of my S4's tail light (driver side, the passenger one is in no shape to photograph) And below those is an image of the tail light I got for replacement... it doesnt fit, I compared it several times thinking I was on crack.
