Looking at your picture, I'd say that is not identical to any DEC
switch handle I know of.  The C&K switches in that photo _are_
identical to the 11/70 switch bodies (and mounting frame) we've been
discussing, but not the plastic actuator past the pivots.

Yes.  Those handles would fit the newer DEC switches (not the PDP-8/L
or PDP-8/i era stuff with slide switches entirely unlike C&K "red"
switch bodies).
