Re: Need a picture of a unmolested dash.
Nice dash Jeff! Ours had the radio hole butchered badly. I cut it out larger than the stock size and used my new spot welder to attach a blankout plate. I'm going to use POR 15 on both sides now before recovering.
Thanks for posting the diagram Steve. I saved a copy. I hope I remember about the left right switch difference when I start installing stuff.

Re: Need a picture of a unmolested dash.
The starter more or less has to be on the right whether it's LHD or RHD, and similarly the choke more or less has to be on the left.
The alternatives would be extra long bowden-cable lengths, crossing over under the bonnet, which would cause lots of problems.

On my car (LHD), the washer and heater switches are in the same place as they are in that diagram. Actually, 1, 2, 3, 5, 11, 12 from that picture are all in that same location. Don't know if that is normal, but I'd certainly believe that that is original to the car.
