For those truly interested in this, a quick chart, based mostly on later TR3A
part numbers:

switch     Stanpart    Lucas    supersedes to       model / action

lighting   109452      31420A/D  31126 [Int. light] PPG1 / 2-stage
pull-on/push off
wiper      107285      31419A    31434 [Panel]      PS7 / push-pull
2-sp.wiper
  1954-57  108909      31427     31568 [lighting]   PR57 / Rotary three way
  1958-60    "         31568 (see above)

[NOTE: above chart works better in a monospace font such as Courier.]

I don't know anything about the two-speed wiper motor used on the TR3/3A,
except that it is a DR3 model, while the single-speed motor is a DR2.
Possibly the lighting switch wouldn't work, depending on exactly how the
two-speed motor is powered (one circuit cuts out, or ???? -- I don't know).
Besides, a good Concours judge might spot your DR3 motor and then check to
make sure the switch is the rotary type and not a push-pull. ;-)
