Thanks guys, I owe it to David for posting about this with his wireless rebuild.
As for a satin nickel, I don’t think there is much we can do at the home level. A lot will have to do with the surface finish of the base metal. From what I’ve read, some will beadblast or use a scotch bright pad to scuff the metal. Then plate. Right out of the solution it was dead flat. I used a buffing wheel and it polished up.

Battery disconnect switch is now finished. Painted and baked in the oven. This should easily give another 80 years of service.

This afternoon I removed the two forward equipment panels. Underneath the drivers side one I found a hand painted number. I believe this to be a possible hull number. Also interesting was the red rubber pads glued to the backside of each panel.

The proper NOS fuses arrived in the mail today from England and were installed into the fuse box.

The originality of this vehicle continues to impress me. I found some more inked stamped part numbers on the panels. Also included is some detail pictures of the wheat lamp charging box

Hi Jordan.
All cleaned up, that looks a lot like an off the shelf, prewar, electrical Junction Box found in many homes from the 1950’s and earlier. David
