TR4/4A Ignition Switch for TR4A

I purchased a replacement "NOS" ignition switch on e-bay for my TR4A. It turns out that it only has an "off-on-start" position instead of the "acc-off-on-start" position I believe TR4A's are supposed to have. I bought it to replace an obvious aftermarket switch I currently have. I plan to resell it on e-bay. Did TR3's have a 3 position switch? I am wondering if that is what I have.

TR3's had a 2 position switch (off and on) and a starter button.
According to my TR4A drivers handbook, they did have a 4 position switch. Vertical (12:00) is off, 1:00 is Ignition, 2:00 is start. Turning the switch counterclockwise from Off, to the 11:00 position is Auxiliary.
My recently sold TR4A just had a toggle switch and a starter button. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

The TR4 handbook shows a four position switch, same as the TR-4A.
