Without going out in the cold I don't think it makes a difference when you switch the indicator.
My 73 Cortina used to do this too, can't remember about my Cav coupe or Manta

Does make a difference, and iirc, you need to turn on ign and cancel indicator to switch off.

Oh no it doesn't!  ;) I've just had a look, the respective side light will light when the indicator is moved while the keys are in my grubby paws.  :y

They must be, as i tried mine today.
They switched on AND off without the key,
also giving me the lights on alarm when i opened the drivers door.
