The ones on ebay appear to be a dealer aftermarket thing that was available in the 80s. The difference, I believe, is that these take a regular H4 bulb, instead of requiring the entire sealed beam unit to be replaced. I vaguely remember hearing about them, but had never seen them for sale. Obviously, this unit is the same shape as post-87s, and probably allow for the headlight wiper option. A cool retro upgrade for an 86, but if you ever took a chip in the glass, good luck finding a replacement...
I've purchased Euro-spec lights for my 86SPG from SAS (if I recall correctly, and I'm not sure if they're still around or not), which were identical to the sealed beam units, other than containing the brighter bulb. A simple one-for-one swap.
