keep it lit!as we say in south wales.
My 1936 Bonneted Leyland Beaver has the same pedal arrangement as did quite a few pre-WW2 vehicles. Makes down-shifts under braking soooo much easier, as with your foot on the brake pedal, your heel is naturally positioned right over the loud pedal
As Bruce says, this pedal arrangement was reasonably common up until the 1940s, both on passenger cars and commercial vehicles. Swapping between different vehicles occasionally had its moments but it was something you got used to, except in emergency situations!
It was a bit like swapping between British and Japanese motorbikes, I suppose.
