Two little offerings that might be helpful:

I always paint the backs of my dashboard white. Makes any future work easy to see.

My favorite method to clean up those rheostats and all the little contact discs down around the center of the shaft is to daub them with valve lapping compound then work them back and forth for a while. Afterwards blast everything clean with brake cleaner and then lube with a touch of white lube. Works really well.

Did you ever find a pattern for the cardboard divider behind the back seat? Just took one intact out of a 53.
