Early trouble lamp socket
A big thanks to Brian Asbury who pointed this out to me on the weekend. Having the parts I figured I would do up a post on it.
Early vehicles featured a two prong socket that had a dedicated ground wire. They also featured a unique plug with an offset pin ensuring that the plug could only fit in one direction. This dash is from my Otter. The later production used a single prong socket that grounded through the body. Pictured is the socket both front and back. Also pictured is the unique plug with the double contacts and off set pins.

These pictures detail the plug and how it fits into the socket. Note the offset pins and how they limit the socket to only fitting one way.
