On the mk1, according to my wiring diagram, the illustrated item serves two functions. Power comes from the ignition switch (terminal C on the switchboard) to the top of the fuse holder. From there it goes to two places. A jumper runs down from the top terminal of the fuse holder thru the resister and on to the coil. The power from the top terminal also goes thru the fuse and on to the hot terminal of the two gauges.
As a result of this setup, the gauges are protected by a suitable fuse. The coil circuit is not protected.
There is another single fuse box nearby that protects the lighting circuit. I'll try and get some photos later today. In both cases the fuses are a little different in their design, which would seem to allow the repair of them by the user.
I had a google at the part number of 11A-12250, which is what FUC-3 calls for, and it is indeed a breaker and resistor assy like I have always seen on the cmp trucks. I am not certain that part would even fit in the tight confine of the mk1 control panel. It may have been a change up from the earlier control panels as well. My original fuse holder/resistor would appear to have been on this panel for a very very long time.
