It's in the dash itself on my '38, not the switch. I don't have a picture but it's a separate cavity that the switch fastens to that has the socket. Maybe similar with the '40??

The light is indirect, from a bulb in the vicinity, reflecting through the gaps around the ignition switch. Don't know about the Master 85 and Master Deluxe.
