Can ANYBODY give me the definitive answer on why each wing has both
red and green nav lights? A reply from someone who has flown carrier
based aircraft would be great. I have had a few replies, ranging from
'possibly' to just jokes (also appreciated!)

I believe your answer was provided by John Weiss in a previous post:
"IIRC, the tip tank light assemblies were "universal" or interchangeable
on the Taco 2 Chalupa [T-2C]. Put it on the other side, and hook up the
light you need."
I would even venture to guess that the aircraft and tank wiring were
designed so that you just hook it up and go: L wing wired to connect to
Green, and R wing wired to connect to Red. [Or do I have that bass-
ackwards?]
