Tying the wires together will have your front courtesy or dash map light and the door outside courtesy lights go on at the same time. To prevent that was why the senior cars had two separate door switches (one for each light circuit) in 55 and the single switch housing holding two independent switches in 56.

The front map light and outside courtesy lights are supposed to go on when a front door is opened but outside lights are not supposed to light when you manually turn on the front map light by turning the headlight switch knob. Connecting them together will negate that separation but I suppose it is not a huge deal.

Sedan rear reading lamp over the back seat is separate and controlled by the rear door switches or the pillar switch.
