Default '72 rear storage compartment light

Hi,
I don't seem to have the switch+light in the middle storage compartment. Was this an option, or should it be present on all cars in '72?

Hi G,
The light was a part of all 68-72 cars.

Alan

This is the typical configuration. Your car appears to be missing the hole for the light and switch in the compartment farme, and the shield and plastic lens that's part of the compartment flocked liner.

Hi Alan,
Thanks, the compartment was likely replaced somewhere in the past then, but the wiring should be present if I understand correctly?
I'll check it when I get the chance to do so.

Hi GKO,
I added a couple of photos.
If you look in the jack compartment you should be able to see the connector for the lamp /switch.

Alan

Here's the connection in the jack storage compartment.
