Great pics, wow! I'm curious about that one little round back plate on the lower horn. Looks like you could only access the pickup selector, but not the master volumes or selector switch?

Yeah looks like the master vols and the switch were front loaded.

Mario,
you can see in the Won’t get fooled again video (shot at Shepperton) or also in the isolated track video,
how John was using the two master vols. 
It was just to be able to switch by a flick of the switch between two master vol settings
