Diagram for 1959 traveller

I have recently bought a1959 Traveller that needs the wiring sorting, It has trafficators that do not work but has extra wires added to the loom i.e. they run outside the braiding to the separate pilot light that has a bulb in with two filaments. Also there is an extra indicator stalk wired in, just laying on the parcel shelf, plus the ends of the loom has lots of connectors with wrong coloured wire on.
The original loom colours are obscured by pale blue paint that has been brushed over every component in the engine bay.
What I’m trying to figure out is which of the wiring diagrams in the workshop manual is the original correct one. I thought it might be page N25, but I do not have the RF95 control box, unless it’s hidden behind the dash.
It has a separate control box and fuse box so my next choice is N30.
Any help please? I am an ex GPO telephone engineer and will have no problems rewiring to the correct diagram, when I have one.
Thanks in advance
Reg
PS I have also but on a welding question

N23-29 are Series MM to early Series 2 diagrams with small speedo and oil pressure gauge. The R95 combined control/fuse box was only fitted to early Series MMs, you should have an RB106 with screw terminals.Your choise is between N30, (N31=LHD) and N36. N38 is for cars with flashing brake light/indicators and N44 is for flashing indicators.[frame]Image[/frame] If you want to wire your indicators and trafficators together see enclosed diagram.
If your wiring is that bad then you should consider a new loom which can be to your specification

Thanks for the reply
My Morris workshop manual in the N’s only goes to section N.44 on page N.38.
I suppose this might be an earlier addition and more pages were added later?

So I have N30, (N31=LHD) and N36 (N.36 being my last wiring diagram)
But not N.38 or N.44

The Traveller has orange indicators at the rear, they are fed with a separate plastic cable, not braided as the original, so making an assumption that they were added later.

Any comments welcome
thanks

My workshop manual is AKD 530M,printed 1968
The indicators would have been an add on.
N30 has the two way switch with a red centre light as fitted to Series MMs and Series 2s so the diagram would be for 1954-56 cars. N36 is therefore 1956-1961 when traficators were discontinued.
Don't mess about with incorrect wiring, fit a new loom

OK, thanks for the info Mike
My workshop manual is AKD 530B, no date, I have downloaded the extra pages from a more recent issue on the internet.
I have several sections of wiring loom from a friend of a friends scrap yard and using the correct colours will make up my own wiring loom.
Thanks again
