Good video on the (in)famous scrapyard in Sweden. The guys think they have found a split bug with rear window gone. It has the oval dash - any way of telling whether its a zwitter or an oval from what's left. The car appears at 10.36 in the video:

my vote is no, not a zwitter. not 100% sure. i think i see later dome light switches in the doors. i dont see a hole for the dome light switch under the dash. also i didnt see the starter button hole to the left of the speedo. details in the video ~12:00 - 12:10.
