Thanks very much to everyone for your help. It seems this is a rather quirky system that hadn't had all of its bugs ironed out yet in 69. Perhaps we're looking at it the wrong way; maybe originally the red light in the switch was supposed to be the only interior indication that the emergency flashers were working, but they couldn't stop the dashlights flashing when the ignition was ON, because they needed this for the indicators and it's all based around the same circuit. So later they kludged it a bit more so that the dashlights flashed whether the ignition was on or off! It's these unexpected little details that keep me interested.
