 is at what point did they implement self-parking wipers?  Was it the
 TR3/TR3A transition?  When?
 
 This is a question for the list in general.

Dave,
According to Piggott (and confirmed by STANPART spare parts catalogue):
Lucas Type CRT15 wiper motor (always mounted on the right hand side) was 
installed on TR2 and TR3 up to TS12567.  This one apparently has only two 
terminals.
Lucas Type DR2 (always mounted on left side) was post TS12567.  This one had 
the parking switch which looked like a can with an electrical wire on the top 
of the wiper gear housing.  This is the one with the terminals #1, #2, and E.
According to Piggott, you should have the newer wiper motor.  Possibly you 
have the newer one, but the parking function doesn't work correctly on yours?
