The battery is wired to the starter through the starter switch and the switch is then connected to the ammeter so that all electrical components are metered. I didn't have those clips on my 38 either. There are a couple of things on that car that don't look original, spark plug wires and the engine color looks to "blue" (though that could be the photo).
