    Paul,

    Having enhanced your first photo, I can see:

    • Terminal at about 2 o’clock is marked “R” so is likely to be output to right indicator(s)
    • Central terminal marked “K” is most likely to be power source

    I therefore assume :

    • Terminal at about 9 o’clock is likely to be output to left indicator(s) but any is ID hidden by the wire.
    • Top terminal with green lead is probably an earth (perhaps necessary for an integral warning lamp).  No idea why there is the additional red lead – what is at the other end of that?

    I suggest using a meter to check for permanent live in centre and permanent earth at 12 o’clock.  Then see if the other two positions respond as anticipated when the switch is operated.  You will almost certainly need the ignition switched on for these checks.
