70 Olds 442 Rear Window Defogger Switch

Hello All,
Once again... things are a little foggy. On some cars (70,71,72) with rear defogger, you see a switch (2 pole) with Off / On (2 position) with the red dot (not a light).
The assembly manual ('70) shows a switch (does not show how many speed positions) with (3 poles).
So what is correct? I have yet to see a heater control set-up for sale with the Off, High, Low, 3 position switch as shown in the assembly manual.
Side note: Both of these types of switches I have saw on cars that had rear window defogger's and the cars were for sale.
Also, all of the controls panels (I mentioned) or I have looked at are for blower type (which is what I have) no electric rear window defoggers.
Thanks in advance!

70 cars with rear defoggers (the blower type) have a 2 speed switch next to the fan control on the heater (or A/C) panel. They do not have a red light.

71/72 cars used a wire grid in the rear window, and they use a red light on the heater (or A/C) panel.

My 70 442 has the factory set up in it.

Are you looking for a switch?

I have a A/C and heater unit that has:

1. NOS Applique

2. All NOS switches

3. All NOS vacuum modules

4. NOS fan switch

5. Good used defogger switch

I would sell it for the right price.

Also, I have a used defogger switch for $30 plus shipping.
