It all depends on how your Indicators have been added to the car, bearing in mind that the car originally had Trafficators.
Trafficators don't flash (although flashing LEDs are now available), they simple come out as a lit arm or semaphore.

A 2 pin flasher simply interrupts the supply to the Indicators, so a warning or tell tale lamp for them has to be after the Flasher, bringing with it the problem of how to connect it to work for both L and R selection. :-? Often such 2 pin Flashers are used in cars where there are 2 warning lamps built into either side of the dash, some Triumph and MG cars come to mind for having this.

The 3 pin Flasher has a separate output connection to a warning lamp, so it will flash the warning lamp irrespective of L or R being selected.

So you need to look at how your warning lamp is connected up. I don't know if your 1959 car originally had a steady or flashing warning lamp.
Perhaps someone here with a Series 3 car can help with that?

Sorry, but what's that got to do with having a 2 terminal Flasher Unit, which is the point I was explaining....
