If you are speaking of the 240D converted to the Manual Transmission? And, it has the Same Connector if the 2 Purple (Violet) wires on the Female Electrical connector were connected together that would remove the Neutral Safety Switch from the Circuit and the Starter Solenoid sould be now be connected direct to the Ignition Switch.

Any, Electrical current going through that Circuit would be coming from the Ignition Switch.
The Manual Transmission Back up Light Switch would need to be wired to the front 2 Wires on the Female Connector but there Might already be a Connector that just plugs into it.

I can't see anything in the old NSS Circuit that would cause a Battery Drain except if the Ignition Swich was allowing some current to go though it.
If the Ignition Switch was allowing Current to get through whe you disconnect the Wire from the Smallest Terminal on the (it may also be Purple or Violet) Starter Solenoid and put one probe of the Digital Volt Meter (set on VDC) and another probe to ground you would show Voltage when there should be none.
