Quite a while ago John Bizal of Midwest Military had a number of switches like this for sale. I know they had the Bakelight style lock assembly. Try him. Best wishes; Leo

And not just any Delco. I have a NOS DELCO in my CCKW that lacks the correct terminal for the trailer. Another G-Member needed an original DELCO for his GP. I checked the DELCO number on the one I installed on my CCKW.
My NOS Switch is DELCO 1994519, I went thru this with George Hollins back in July. I have no idea what DELCO 1994519 was intended for.

Never could figure out why DELCO made different Push Pull Headlamp Switches that had less terminals instead of making one that fit all. The NOS 1994519 DELCO is missing the terminal for the Trailer receptacle. Got a feeling it is for something like the Chev WWII Staff Cars and Pickups equipped with B.O. Lights.

Did you find your switch? Is that correct one for a MA?
