wagon differences 120-130

Hello all.
Picked up a running 68 220 cheap as a donor car for the upcoming 66 220 restoration. The dash has some extra holes that look factory but am not sure as they do not match the 66. Besides having hazard lights was there anything else on the 68 different?
It is so much "fun" seeing how many homemade repairs you can find on a 36 year old car. The wiring is frightful.

    Both my '68 Amazons have a small hole on far left side of dash (directly above wiper switch) where a red round plastic lens goes; I have not seen this on the earlier year dashes I have come across.

    I believe it's some type of a brake related warning light. I think it's supposed to glow if one of the brake circuits (on dual circuit brake systems) had a problem.

    The 68 dash has a different heater control than the 66.
    I happen to have such a control that I can't use, if you are interested.
    The steering wheel mounting and cowl is also different.
