Default light

Just my thoughts but the light socket appears to be an 'add on field mod' The choke and throttle controls are not original .

The repro choke/throttle cables or knobs are available from US vendors

It might be just that, but all the examples I've seen appear to be in a standardised position.

Default Still available.......

Jeep repro dealers sell a very very similar socket for dash mounting.... not sure what year civilian Jeeps had such an option.... repros have a chromed bezel which can be sanded and painted OD..... they must also have the matching male plug.
