Thanks, Anil,
My 1970 model beetle was made in Nov 1969. Small changes (such as interior light switches) often got changed in mid-year rather than with a new model year, so your information that it was a chromed version is useful. My chromed switch definitely has an ivory plastic switch, and carries both a Hella logo and a VW logo. I found it at a swap meet so am not certain what it came from. In the 1960s and ‘70s, all VW beetle sedans for Canada and the USA were manufactured in Emden, while those for the European markets generally came from Wolfsburg. They frequently had different suppliers, hence, slightly different parts.

Hi Bert, FWIW, my 1969 Type one had a beige button and the edge was chromed. I seem to remember the brand was 'Sidler'. spent many happy days in my childhood playing with that!

I have three: (1) chromed-plastic frame, flat ivory switch. Made in Germany. (2) clear plastic frame, flat black switch. Made in Germany. (3) clear plastic frame, flat black switch. Hecho en México.
