I'm struggling to find out what socket is needed for the Turn-Indicator-Bulbs (#68572-64)

Is it BA15s ???

Single or dual contact.
I like the dual , #1157, light as it gives me both a low beam running light, and a brighter signal beam....

Not enough info in your post. Are you asking about a replacement socket for the die-cast signals as used through the 60s-70s era?

Once again, is it a single or double contact socket. Straight or staggered locating pins?
Open it up and have a look-see inside.....

The original bub used in that light is a GE 63 6V. Any bulb conversion chart will give you options. It is a BA15s base bulb.
