I have a box of Honeywell pushbutton inserts from various
machines scrapped over the years.
I have a couple translucent red ones that are real deep, and
look a lot like they would fit the switches on a 360.
They are .980" wide, .749 high and .693" deep. (24.9 mm W,
19 mm H and 17.6 mm deep)
They have a groove on the rear top and bottom that the clip
of the switch grabs them by. They are not ABS, as they are
translucent. I also have 2 each, green and white versions
of these same items. I don't know if these will fit your
console switches, but if they will, you are welcome to them.
I also have a bunch of the two-piece buttons that are more
typical of the Honeywell switches, they have a colored
insert and a clear snap-on cover. You can put a piece of
film between these to create a legend.

Oh, it's quite real :) I have some ideas on machining the inserts from
blocks
of ABS plastic, incuding the curved depression on the front. I have some red ABS that is
the right colour but not thick enough so I'll pay another visit to the plastics shop
to
get something more suitable. Just another of my gunnadoos...
(By the way - I'm looking for a red INTERRUPT
insert, red STOP insert and
pearl POWER ON insert for my 360/40 console, if anyone can help :)
Is this for a mockup or a real 360/40 console?
