They don't appear to be Benz switches to me. The electrical connection is wrong for starters.

After looking at them again, could be they're Rolls switches. Not many cars use a screw connection other than Rolls/Bentley.

They ARE Mercedes switches from 1968-69. The long piece was on a driver's door and the fifth switch the child safety lockout.

Those look similar to the switches on my 250CE, but it's been a long time since I pulled them so I don't remember what the back look like.

Im also pretty certain they are mercedes switches. as i remember my 64 euro 220Sb had switches like that or it may have been my 68 ROW version 280.
cheers

Yep, MB....

Looks just like the set I had on my 69 300SEL 6.3 driver's door.

Fun Fact; I've noticed that on my 250CE the window switches have chrome surrounds, and every american w114/115 I've seen has kind of a metalic matte champagne.
