Agreed, it's a turn indicator stalk, fitted only to GT40 Mk I road cars and GT40 Mk III cars. It's from the Ford parts bin, and it's the same turn indicator assembly that was fitted to the Mk I Cortina. Moved up and down gave left and right turn indicators; pulled towards the steering wheel was for headlight main beam flash, and pushed to the right switches the lights to main beam. If it's the same as the similar GM version, press in on the end of the stalk, and that's the horn.
....but no ejector seat!
Here are couple of pictures...
GT40 Mk I road car in question
GT40P/1103 (Mk III)
Ford Cortina Mk I
This one is a Lotus Cortina, but same stalk....
Got to admit, it's not a particularly elegant fit in the GT40s
Cheers,
