Had a look at the switches and no amperage rating. However they were made by Carling, and have the part number ST40E. When I look up that part number, it gives a spec of 10 amps.

It's probably a long shot, Rob, but does that switch show up in any military parts listings currently that might provide a clue as to what it was used on?

It does translate into NSN 5930-00-242-8427, but since it is a common mil-spec switch, it will have been used on anything that needed a SPDT switch.

Mystery Solved. One of the long time radio guys from here remembered seeing one of these panels on a M37 with the C42 radio setup. The panel was hooked up to the Chorehorse, two banks of batteries, and the C42radio set.

I'll try and post one of the drawings he sent, but it was in PDF.
