Dolomite wiper stalk?

Hello all!
On my search for all things Dolomite, I treated myself to
this lovely headlamp and wiper stalk - although I'm now not sure it is in fact from a dolomite? It has an option (unlike mine) for a single wiper use from pressing the wiper down, and is one complete unit together with the indicator stalk. I'd assumed I would be able to separate it and utilise the indicator stalk.
Can anyone tell me what I've bought exactly?!

It's not for any sort of Dolomite, I suspect it's Marina!

Similar units are also used on the Spitfire 1500 and TR7.

Hmm not good! Looks like it may well be TR7. Oh well! Maybe it will fit anyway?!

Clearly wrongly described, you’d be justified in asking for a refund on that.

I bought a set like that and mine came from a Mini. I cut and shut it and used it on my MGB. My Dolomite has a flick wipe as standard - you pull the wiper stalk towards the steering wheel. It always amazes me that when they designed the wiper/washer stalk, they didn't think to automatically switch on the wiper when you use the washer. I suppose what is now blindingly obvious never occured to them back then.

We just got back from holiday and hired a car in Europe that had automatic lights, wipers and even handbrake, I was thoroughly dissapointed I had to steer!
I have started a returns request, we shall see!
