Your description of the Chev knobs sounds like the choke and throttle knobs listed for 1939 and 1940 Chevs (described as "rose tan" in some catalogs).
It sounds as if the press on knob to a rectangular tang was at least a semi-standard design since there now seem to have been at least three different moulds made to make them.
The design seems better suited for a sideways load than a pulling load, although it took a fair effort to take the knob off the tang. Any ideas what else they were used on? Think about knobs on almost anything. The tang seems too heavy duty for the old style toasters that had a flip down door on each side.
