Options for window switches

Hi all, fairly simple question today... Are there any suggestions for electric window switches, that would drop-in and fit the existing openings in the center console and not look too "modern"? I'm trying to track down a good pair of the original Ducellier switches (prices will always be high, but I know I can do better than ebay prices with some searching) but while I wait I need something to use for the windows this summer. At some point in the past the original switches where removed, but the chrome surrounds were reused with cheap replacement electrical switches (so I have standard sized openings in the console). As the old replacements are now going bad, I am looking at find any option that looks good and will fit without changing the center console holes. Thanks

MrFiat.com have new originals at the dollar equivalent of about £268 each - scary I know. I could not find them cheaper.

The original Ducellier switches (in some cars) are rebuildable easily. So if you find some, go ahead.

In the meantime (or forever), I suggest using the Dorman 48241. It looks almost identical out of the box, is inexpensive, and durable. It's a 4 pin switch.

So, how are the Ducellier switches wired? The wiring diagrams are not helping my understanding.

I am using Alfa window motors.

Decided to go with DPDT switches and Alfa window motors.

These are from a (Gulp!) 1971 Buick.
