If anything, it probably serves the headlight warning lights when you turn on the ignition. Why would the generator and oil warning lights need another connection? They work quite well without it. Anyway we'll see what it does when I connect it up. > I was surprised to find that there are differences between early (-68) and late > (69-) lampholders for these.

This is true even for Type 34 specific items like the clock. I have a 7/68 clock and speedo that have them. In the case of the Type 34, they just made a few like that and them discontinued the model.
