David,

You could look for a rear view mirror on a post war military Bedford. Some had the broad arrow on their round mirrors.  If no joy, there is one suitable on evil bay USAhttp://www.ebay.com.au/itm/330665247642?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649  (http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/330665247642?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649)or a JEEP one from MV Spares is pretty close......

As for the Blackout Light Switch knob: Simply, it is a MK* Jaguar one.

The bakerlite type was often used, my gunbuggy has one fitted to it, while in service, cheers Dennis

Here is a pic taken from this website showing the 'Stove type' switch handle, it was a common mod undertaken

Hi David, I might have a black out switch knob I can give you but can't look until the weekend

Cheers

Thanks for all the help, mine has a stove type switch and it looks like it does not belong there. And for the mirror will check it out.
Thanks again
David
