I'm not sure which goes on your set but there is a BS knob used only on some of the 1936 models. Here's a pic of it.

That is what is on both of my 116X's. That was the best pic of that knob I found.

I have also seen both the round black knob as well as the oddball bandswitch knob that was only used in the 1936 season (which Terry linked to above) on the early (shouldered) 116B, so I would say either one is OK.
