Early Edgwicks had the clutch lever top-LHS of the headstock (you can see the end of the shaft on your headstock); on later ones they moved it to the bottom RHS (a much more sensible location) using levers & bosses on the back of the lathe.

I believe the gear selectors are actually the same inside; just with a different style boss.
