I see the same thing in these pics.. Also notice the wider sheet metal under the front bumper on the burgandy car.. (but I'm sure that was changed at the same time the magical trunk lid/spoiler vains were added with the new paint job..right?) btw.. what exactly did those vains add to performance??

Ed, looking at the red car on the transport truck there is not a spoiler, but something silver on the rear edge of the trunk lid, maybe a metal piece to attach/support a spoiler.?
With the vanes, part of the mold, too perfect and alike to be added later.
Think back to what I said early on. Car-1 was one of the first Camaros ever molded, in late '67, was racing in late Jan. of of '68, somewhat crude (heck, maybe even a flaw at the bottom of the door). I really think it should be called a 1967. This car replaced the stell bodied 67, this door handle, real tail lights, basic red with the black top to come.
Car-2 burgundy, was the new and improved 1968, with the tail lights and spolier (with vanes) molded in.
Funny cars and their development were changing dailey back then, a lot of times by trail and error. And who would be at the forefront of this technology, wanting to run what ever was current? Yes Dick Harrell, one of the funny car guys who bought a 1967 body only to see the 1968 bodies emerge 6 weeks Later. Dick would have wanted a new and improved '68. See below.
