The thing in the switch pocket is probably just the switch, all taped up to keep dirt out.  They were bigger back then.  The thing between the pups, I would guess, is a dummy coil for humbucking.  Anything tone control related should be smaller and located in that roomy control cavity to minimise noise/keep leads to pots/jack etc as short as possible.
