Pure speculation on my part, but I would suspect this is the same switch used in various doors in all GM cars through the sixties and seventies (and the eighties, too, I believe).
There were three types, if I recall, the most basic with one wire that grounds, another with two wires that ground, allowing two separate lighting circuits to be controlled (back doors light rear lights only, front doors light all lights), and also used for the driver's side key-in buzzer circuit, and a third type with three wires (though I'm not certain about the third - I just think I've seen one somewhere).
You should have no problem finding one of these in a parts car, junkyard, or auto parts store.
