Could the back plate be soldered on at the lugs where the mounting screw go? This is a late '46 built car, that had about five previous owners. Would this be the original switch, or did someone change it or put a jobber part on?

I apologize. I had forgot that the design was changed. Sorry for the improper advice.
Although this switch works, you may be surprised at how much resistance it may be producing. I've had Fords stumble after warming up only to trace it back to a worn switch.
I don't believe this type is readily serviceable and am fairly certain you'll need to find a NOS switch should you choose to replace it. They come about very frequently. In fact, you might ask Mike Driskell. I know he's had them in the past.
I'd be leery of a repop...
