I thought this was a year thing. At least in the US, the running lights went off when the headlights came on up thru 67. From 68 on, the running lights stay on with the headlights. > Is this correct?

This would mean that the contact is not very good and MIGHT lead to early failure of the switch. I'd avoid it. If this is a feature you like, you might see if a 68-9 switch would fit in your car. I think these take different knobs however.
