I seem to recall reading, somewhere, that sailing vessels under 39' can
combine the stern and steaming lights into the masthead tri-color. But I
may
be mistaken.

23 (c) A power-driven vessel of less than 12 meters in length may, in
lieu of lights prescribed in paragraph (a) of this Rule, exhibit an
all-round white light and sidelights.

Which I take to mean that you could use your mast head _anchor_ light
and sidelights under power.

The mast head and anchor lights are two different things. Mast head light
typically refers to steaming light.

The anchor light is a single white light visible in all directions,
indicating that the vessel is at anchor.

But, yes, you could according to 23(c).
