Ahhh...more pieces to the puzzle. i feel like a forensic scientist trying to piece together the clues to figure out what happened during the undocumented gaps in Albert's past. I suspected that the radiator had been replaced due to the substantial(and substandard) "Bondo resculpturing" on the driver's side of the front. Now it's clear that what you suggest is exactly what happened; a later radiator with a reused switch from the old one.

Good info. Thanks, Mark!
