FWIW as the new holder of the parts kindly donated by Les, I can confirm they are pretty much identical to those in Hugh's pictures. 

I must admit my first impression was "plastic?", but having read up on the topic yesterday I am quite sure Robert is correct & they are a form of Bakelite. 

Robert, let me add my voice to Hugh's, if you could e-mail photos of the original installation to either Hugh or myself we can post them on this page for others to refer to. (I don't suppose you live anywhere near Bedford or Cambridge? If so it would be great to see the car).

A bit too far just now I'm afraid - but I look forward to seeing some photos.
