It may be a different style of switch for the heater blower motor with the round disc being a resistor.
I did see an eBay listing back in April 2015 that showed a similar switch but it has expired and the photo is no longer available.
That is an idea. The way the end of the sides is messed up perhaps there is some heat involved. A resistor switch wouldn't have been used for the clutch but maybe there was a second switch for an underseat heater installed in the clutch position. Was there anything connected to the terminals on the switch and if so how.
To be a resistor the wheel would have to be carbon and very securely mounted so some kind of terminal could make a solid connection -- probably one on each side. Is the wheel carbon or fiber? Battery would go to BAT and resistor terminals would connect between the one going to motor and a third terminal on the switch probably just a rivet without a place to plug in a wire. Another possibility is the wheel is a heat resistant support and there was a coil of resistance wire wrapped around it. The way the taped up wiring looks perhaps that resistance element burned or otherwise bit the dust and was removed so just the support remained.
