Default Sport tail light question

A lady broke my left tail light at the grocery store today. I was looking on Ebay for a replacement and keep running into "Except Sport" on all the parts I find, so what is the difference? My truck is a 98 QC Sport.

Thanks,
Will

I wonder if its similar to the sport headlights, having two bulbs and a turn signal bulb?

The sport tail lights have a smooth trim that is painted to match the truck. The non sport ones have a rough texture to the trim and they have black trim no matter what color the truck is. So even if you have a black truck and change only one side they wont match because the non sport ones have a rough texture to them and the sport ones are smooth.
