I just looked at a book I have on the earlier cars. It has some interior shots of a '68. The row of three knobs is there but the left and center knobs look different. Instead of having a concave surface the are convex with no discernable central feature.

Pages 50 and 51 of the Johnson restorer's guide show pics from 66 thru 68 with everything through 67 showing non-rubber concave switches. The 67 with chrome bases. The 68 pic shows the rubber donuts, and the text says the rubber started in 68.
Peter Morgan (Original 911) shows a 65 dash on page 16 &19 with a concave light switch. Page 19 also shows a 67S dash with concave switches and chrome bases.
Pages 18 & 20 show a RHD 68 with non-rubber convcave switches.
Page 44 shows a RHD 73 with non-rubber concave switches and page 49 shows a RHD 73 RST with non-rubber headlight switch.
It looks like the rubber donuts may have been US only -- at least through 73.
I also think it's pretty conclusive that a 67 S came with non-rubber donut chrome base switches.
Kilo -- I also remember seeing the flat knobs you describe, but I can't remember where and haven't found any pics in my books. What book are you looking at?
