Default 1981 back-up lights (without??)

I recently purchased a very clean 1981 with original paint, interior, numbers matching car. There are no back-up lights on it. The tail lights all look the same. The inner light do not have the clear centers.
Is it possible that it came this way from the factory??

Thanks,
Sure enough all four lights are bright brake lights with this.
