As far as I know, and according to the parts book, the plate and switches were a replacement piece only, for cars built before chassis # 423 140, April 29, 1964. This info is from the VW dealer book "Progressive Refinements". It does indicate this is for the twin-carb. car so maybe this applies to German "S" models only? I believe the dash metal was changed at chassis# 423 140. This is identical for the Type 34 automobiles, although the chassis # may be different as Progressive Refinements has 0 485 853(34) May 18, 1964. I believe the 34 indicates Type 34? My '63 Notch (built late '62) had the plate and push/pull switches, it was a dealer-installed fix, according to the original owners.
