Just like your MG, Bob...

In Photobob's second photo, I see five horizontal levers amongst the controls. From right to left, I'm guessing they are train brake, engine brake, throttle, and the reverser below the throttle...but what's that lever on the far left sticking out into the walkway?

Given it position I would think it is the dynamic, either that or the transition.

Transition lever.

In the photos, it's in the "off" position. Pushing it away from you put the unit in motoring, pulling it toward you put the unit in dynamic braking.

The silver-looking knob with the handle pointing at the 5 o'clock position is the headlight switch. It's in the "off" position. Vertical was "dim". Turning it the other way as far as it would go was "bright". By the way, on the PAs, Fs and Es, the headlight was not m.u.able.

In the second photo, the square-looking box on the control stand about a foot below the reverser handle is the old Mars Signal Light controller. Turning it to the left was "off", straight up was "dim", to the right was "bright", and down was "red". Of course, Santa Fe had replaced the Mars light with one of their own "Topeka" signal lights.
