G. well sorry, I didn't get the whole message.  The switches I have are numbered: 251 941 531 M, they are the only ones available new    I have used them in ALL model Vanagons without any problems.  I know about this switch difference but it does not seem to be a problem installing the M switch in place of the T switch.  I believe I do have some good used T switches but I cannot verify that until I get back home April 24th.
