The style of switch probably depended on the year and model. Here are a couple of more switches. I think the first switch photo is from West Petersen's 40 and the illustration is from the 40 AC introductory brochure The other photo is the Clipper style switch as shown in the 42-6 Clipper accessory manual. I believe the switch that is part of the ebay unit is the typical 41 under dash version. Lavine has other repro brackets -- Heater, Defroster and the Cooling -- in that same style listed as 41-2. Somewhere I have a photo of one well optioned car with a whole slew of switches in that 41 housing lined up under the dash starting from the OD knob going toward the center.
From the placement of West's switch and the brochure illustration it would appear the switch was mounted near the driver to the side of an OD knob if the car was so equipped. Possibly "controlled by the passenger" meant anyone in the front seat. While I understand the 40 aor vents were fixed, the 41-42 vents had a passenger adjusted knob on the side to direct the air flow out of the vent on the package shelf.
