Just digging into a new to me non runner

Has the LDS-465-1A multi fuel engine.
I spent the long weekend downloading ALL the TMs and going through them looking for the wiring diagrams.
I only found one and that was for the early gasser which doesnt match.
Mine seems to be a later 60s perhaps? It was last painted carc in 2003 so possible it had some later retrofitting like a larger primary fuel filter and who knows what.
We got it from BIA so who knows what "field expedients" were applied to it.
The start button is missing and may have been replaced with this abomination...

It has what looks like a start relay but seems to be missing a voltage regulator

It has an unknown condition fuel lift pump in the left tank but without a wiring diagram to look at I am not sure where it draws power from or when .



The truck is at a remote storage lot in 114 degree heat and I was hoping to be able to research and understand it before I get into the oven.

Mainly looking for schematics of the starter/relay/lift pump/battery(master)switch/voltage regulator relationship
