Thanks much to everyone for supplying information on this.

To summarize the comments, CAT Shop Notes and as a result of further research
on my part, it appears that all Tiger and Alpine columns are the same.
Headlight flashers were on European cars but not generally on US cars but
perhaps on some. There are/were quite a few of these switches around because
several people have retrofitted them, often to provide horn capability when
the steering wheel was changed for an after market item.

At least on my car (Mk1 2703) the stock switch, without the flasher feature,
has Lucas P/N 34720B. The Lucas model number for everthing is 85SA

The following P/Ns will fit directly: 34719, 34721, 34981 They have varying
letter suffixes to indicate mod level.

P/N 35557 is probably Volvo and fits a smaller diameter column, but can be
adapted to Tiger/Aplines by making custom brackets.

Per a 1967 Lucas catalogue for Rootes vehicles (Hillman, Humber,
Singer,Sunbeam, Commer and Karrier) P/Ns 35558, 35612, 35690 and 35691 also
have combination indicators and flashers but their usability on Tigers is
unknown. Similar switches were fitted to other cars including Volvo and
Rover.

There is a rumor that the switch for an MGB, Sprite, Midget (Moss Motors P/N
141-770) can be fitted/adapted? to the Tiger and is available new at $79.95.
