I am also surprised that the same harnesses are used for both the FE and the MM. The FE has separate brake (red) and directionals (yellow), whereas the MM has a combination brake/directional tail lamps (all red). That should mean, the wiring in the back for the tail lamps is different between the FE and MM, no?
Walt, the 5L8Z-14A411-AB is only a service part for the 5L8Z-15A416-AA kit. By itself it will be of no use.

The 5L8Z-15A416-AA kit can be used for either an Escape or a Mariner. There's an additional ground wire that you either leave unattached for one of them but ground it for the other (I forget which is which) to accomodate the different lighting strategies.
