Yes, the older Spits had a third column-mounted stalk. The required parts (the stalk switch and the special two-stalk mounting base) may be easier to find than the special shifter knob, switch, and shift lever. So somebody doing a conversion could be better off adding the old-style switch instead of the knob switch.
