Dash knob question on Patrol

[GARYSCC]

Hi, on my patrol there is a push button switch immediately above the ignition switch. I recall the previous owner used this push button to start up the engine. I doubt this is original - can someone post a picture of the factory dash - or let me know what that knob location should be for?

The push button above the ignition switch is original on Patrols up to '67. Starting in '68 they used a 3-way ignition switch and placed a windshield washer switch, then a wiper switch where the push button used to be. The original ignition switch is simply a 2-way/on-off switch; the push button would engage the starter to turn the engine over.

Check this post from RiverPatrol. She has one picture there that clearly shows the push button.
