The differences between the Ute and wagon tail gate skins are the wagon skin has a hole for the handle and the major difference is at the top of the tail gate where it meets the rear window.
The Ute skin comes in towards the front of the vehicle a lot further than the wagon.
You could always use the bottom half of the skin that Craig makes or modify the skin to suit it would depend on whether you are doing a rust repair (usually at the bottom) or panel damage.

vans and wagons also have a raised profile for the rear badge whereas utes do not appear to. See discussion here (especially down the bottom of the page):

I would guess that new skins also do not have this raised profile so you may need to weld one in from a wagon.
