I probably fix things about as well as Tim does!

The escutcheon is blanked on the right side as you thought. So that
much is correct. Some of the switches are missing on the dash so I
need to figure out what goes where.
This car was original purchased from a local salvage yard so some
parts were removed by prospective TR4 mechanics.
