For the record, this is the item we're talking about.
To prove it 'can' be done, next two pics are the British switchboard I restored. It was weathered but not nearly as rough as the ebay one.

I'll throw these up too. First is as recovered and second after my clean-up. What I found odd is that the wire was solid copper vinyl coated similar to modern house wiring and not rubber/fabric that I would have expected. I see the ebay one is the same.

Nice job Bruce. My charging board also has the solid copper vinyl coated wire. To replicate one of these the switches would be the challenge. I have yet to come across anything close. Oh and a huge supply of nickel plated nuts and washers.

Like Bruce's British switchboard, my Canadian one has solid wire (not stranded)

So I am eyeing getting one those boards that Dirk has to reproduce a charging panel for my wire-3 truck. I am looking to get the switches and I saw at one time someone mention that appliance switches are what was used on these board. I take it that the switches are like this one on ebay:
