Mystery Switch -- What is this?

Small switch just to the left of the steering column. At first I thought it was some kind of aftermarket DIYer add on, but looking through the assembly manual last night, I noticed it was in there. But it was only listed as a "switch" with a part number (I think). It might have said somewhere it was a cruise control switch, but with a light symbol on it, that seems unlikely.

Also, just noticed another one I don't recognize, what is that at the very bottom right corner, just past the edge of the steering wheel?

TIA

My guess

I am guessing that the one to the left of the wheel is a switch for a dealer installed accessory...like a rear blower defroster.

The one to the right looks like a speaker control...likley front to rear balance or left to right balance....possibly a reverb control.

It turns on the interior lights.

Neither one of those switches was factory installed. Olds never used rectangular rocker switches like the one on the left, and the universal symbols like the one on the right were not used in the 1968-69 model years. Both have been added by a previous owner.
