Specification of the last models is a bit shady, but the Lucas equipment list specifies a Lucas 34815A (type 118 SA) for the late G15CSR which you have.
The same switch was used for the Commando.

You may see the switch in the close-up photos of this superbly restored (?) G15CSR.

Sorry, Piero. I am confused by all your bikes. I thought you were adressing the M33CSR mentioned in the other thread. If it's really a late '67 it should be as pictured above ... but then, maybe you are restoring it to the 1965-6 spec.
I can't help you on brake switch for the rearset configuration. Have you examined photographs?

You need to search the Internet and enlarge the images to see the details. I found several and I am sure you can too.

The Lucas parts list says stop lamp switch was #34815A (type 118SA) for 1966-67 G15CSR. I guess the correct statement is 1967 only.
For AJS M33CSR the older type 31383B is listed for 1965-67.

Anthony Curzon has some information as to the changes made to the roadster brake pedal. I guess the rearset brake pedal never received these changes, and activation of the switch was by a spring attached to the brake rod by a clamp. The later switch is neater in that activation is directly by a tab and screw at the brake pedal.
