I believe all type IIIs have the dome light like yours.  Early sqbks had an 
additional light in the roof in front of the rear hatch.  This second light 
was set in a metal panel that covered about the last foot of the roof--all 
the way from one side to the other.  This panel had "humps" in it that 
served to cover the rear hatch hinges on both sides, so these cars didn't 
get the plastic covers that are on the later cars.  I'm pretty sure '66s had 
this panel, not so sure about '67s.
