Wish I could help but unlike the chassis wiring diagrams in the 24-29 parts manual and in some service letters not much is available for body wiring. There is an almost illegible diagram in Service Letter Vol 3 #1 of Jan 1, 1929 showing a chart dealers could order which apparently is how Packard handled body wiring diagrams back then. Unfortunately I can not read any labels showing where they might be taking the power from in the various body illustrations.
Even as late as the immediate prewar conventional body cars about the only thing they showed on the chassis diagrams was to have a wire labeled body feed or some such coming off an aux fuse or some other component used as a tie point. Most of the time nothing to show where the wire went or what it connected to. Body wiring even though more complicated by then was still diagrammed on separate sheets that for whatever reason didn't seem to get distributed like the chassis diagrams. It wasn't until 48 that a decent body wiring diagram was included with the chassis drawing and even then most accessories were still detailed separately.
Possibly one of the few early era guys who post here will see your question before it disappears and will have the chart or some experience with the wiring or dome light or can look at their cars to help out. If not I am afraid you may be on your own to "re-invent" the proverbial wheel.
