I check my Sten's catalog. They do not have a Massey listing. They had nothing with terminal order you listed. I think one you can not read, could it be from rust?, is the B ( battery) terminal. If you can not source the correct switch from a Massey dealer, you are looking at a rewire. If the body of the plug that goes on the switch is in good shape. All you would need to do is bend the terminal retaining tangs down with a small screw drive and rewire the plug. The terminal you can not read may be because of my rust guess may need to be replaced. the terminal can be found at almost any auto parts store as they are a common terminal used on GM products. I keep them around for rewires or building new wiring harnesses. If the body of the plug for the switch is bad, you can get a new one in the Oregon parts system.
The terminals are, S = start, A = alternator, B = battery, M = Magneto, G = ground
