Archie 1962 FJ25

Starting some conversation with @Coolerman about this wiring harness and getting it in his queue. I’ll have to get him some dimensions for the modification to the rear harness length and the fuel sending unit (vs FJ25) but also had a few questions maybe some of you have answers:
Otherwise I think it should be the same as a 25. Anything else I'm forgetting?
- How/where was the Vader light switched in 1960?
- I’ve got an LV/55 dome light to use thanks to @Land Cruiser Junky, I can see that this had one at one point Based on a mounting plate present on the ceiling. How would this have been switched? My LV doesn't have a dome light so I'm not sure how it was originally.
- for the semaphores it appears to me these are just hardwired, and they only turn on when the mechanical cable-operated switch opens them up to create a connection. To me it seems like perhaps this should be my only turn signal . Wouldn’t make sense to have two signal switches right? But then I wonder if these blinked, and should I have it wired to the flasher relay somehow?
- I found a 6-post non-USA light switch. Is this how the fog lights should be switched, with the extra position on it? Or did the fog lights have a separate switch and if so where was it mounted?
- Based on the pink 28VA it doesn’t look like these ever had a pintle hitch or trailer wiring plug - @cruiserdan does yours have evidence of either of those? The bumper on the VA looks like an LV bumper, and I don't see any evidence of a trailer harness on Lara.
- I'm assuming I figure out the denso clamshell heater previously discussed - I don't think I've actually seen a switch for one of these things before. I think I'm planning on just using a generic somewhat toyota looking pull switch like this one that's mounted below dash to turn it on unless someone has info that should steer me elsewhere? Didn't want to put an extra hole in the dash.
Please share if you have any lead on 6 post light switch. I am hunting one for myself. there are evidences of a seprate fog light switch as well.
