Default 1933 MODEL B starter switch?

My starter does not have this. How is this starter switch connected to the floor switch?

Nor should it have one. That was used on '32 fours until the change from a cable-activated switch to the foot-operated switch, the same as V8s.

Thanks
I have a spare model b engine that has a starter with this switch.
I guess I cannot use that starter on my existing car.
I have been having problems with my starter. I guess it needs rebuilding, because if the rotor happens to stop in a dead area I can't get the starter to run. I guess hand cranking the engine will not spin the starter to an active portion of the armature.

Can I swap out the internals of this 1932 starter for use on my 1933 starter Model B if I need to?

Not surprising as its part number is BF-11450 which was originally first released for '32 RHD fours.

Once I get a working starter in my car then I can begin looking at the distributer. I
