Since you have the glove box out, perhaps you can use a mirror to check the wiring to the amp gauge, making sure it agrees with the 1955 wiring schematic. Since the TL control switch has been changed, the polarity may have been switched also. If so, whoever changed that would have recognized the amp gauge needs to have the wires reversed.
I am not aware of any changes that need to be made for the radio, but if the amp gauge was reversed perhaps the radio was fixed at the same time.
The amp gauge wiring will tell you if the polarity was deliberately reversed.
Can you contact the seller to determine if they were aware of any changes??
