I've never seen one, but I understand that there was an accessory for early 
cars that would mount between the end of the speedo cable and the 
speedometer that would turn on the backup lights if the cable rotation 
reversed.

This MIGHT be what you have, but the neutral safety switch should have the 
backup light switch built into it. There are very few of these early 68 ATs 
around, though, so there might be some different things about them, plus 
this might be an Austrailian type 3 with its own unique features. Simon can 
probably clear this up.
