Thanks for the link Guscha. I suppose I should have mentioned that in addition to the parts book illustrations, I had also looked through the parts list on page 169. The parts I believe I'm missing are:

203997 Steering post horn button gasket, (3 req'd)
203778 Steering post horn button spring (1 req'd)

And I'm not sure if I'm missing one or more parts of:

209216 Steering post horn button and contact assembly (1 req'd)

Looking at the exploded diagram of the 42-47 horn button contact assembly I also found on packardinfo.com, there's a contact ring. Would a 33 also have some sort of contact ring as part of the horn button and contact assembly?

Now in terms of the operation of the horn button, does a '33 horn button function similarly to a 40's with horn ring? That is to say that the horn button is rocked out to the side where it "grounds" out to energize the horns. Can anyone confirm that this is the correct operation of the button?

Thanks again,
Dave
