My '72 UK GTS has one of the switches not connected to anything (I think it is the second from the bottom), I believe this is normal for mid-70s Panteras.
I have a couple of owners handbooks, the earlier book (for 1972 UK cars) shows this switch connected to one of the radiator fans. In the later book (for 1973 US cars) it shows it unused.
