To me it does not look like a Packard unit but I am not up on all the various older styles Packard offered. Some in the 30s were round but I believe from late 30s on they were squarish with various type and number of doors. The switch to turn on the blower in a stock heater would be a round knob to the side of the heat and temp levers and had off, hi - low positions. If there was no heater then there was a blank fill plate for the space but a knob that did not turn was still present. If there was an underseat heater then both sides had a switch and the left knob by the air vent levers controlled the underseat heater.
If yours was one of the cars with no ordered heater and it has no switch in the stock location perhaps the Australian heater itself has some kind of switch on the enclosure or maybe there would have been an under dash universal type switch. There is also a fuse in the block under the dash for the stock heaters and if that was used for your heater, in many cases corrosion has made for poor connections at the fuse clips in the block and the fuse connection is unable to carry enough current to work the motor.
