The only person who will know the answer is the previous owner.

But I'm willing to have a guess, fog-lights, ignition imobiliser, chicken switch for fan, ejector seat. Do I win anything if I'm right?

Oil slick

Ejector seat (toggle on the right) be careful with that one.

I've seen conversions where there's a switch on the dash that brings in the relay to power the fridge off 12v while driving. The Xplorer conversion and funnily enough, the Holdsworth. I'm thinking perhaps the switch on the far right is a likely candidate for that.......

Switch on right looks identical style to the fridge switch on my'86 Holdsworth, and in same general area.
