It appears the previous owner also painted the black plastic on the lower section of the side mirrors and the lower skirt of the car.  It's hard to tell for sure from your profile pic.  Somebody put some work into your car to make it one off.  I think it looks sweet, just need to find a way to switch them on and off or make them a different color to abide by the laws.

As far as I am aware there are no differences in body panels/ mirrors / door handles between a sho and a regular Taurus?

That does look pretty sweet actually aside from the issue with color.  I am with the other guys, see if you can rewire it to either a separate switch, or maybe add a relay and piggyback it on the courtesy lighting circuit.

the handles on my '10 have a groove in all as i put a 1/8" black stripe in each. something hardly anybody notices when i show my car. i had seen before somebody had light the sho on the fender badge of a '13+ & looked sweet. yours is definitely custom & very cool. bpd is right about outside lighting, very few colors are legal if car is moving. of course if you know the right people wink, wink you can run under car lighting & not get a ticket.

I notice your door handle stripes Michael.
