Florian hits the nail on the head!  Thanks! These footswitches you've linked
to are by far the closest in style (95% identical?).  Thinking about it, the
owner is German, so that also figures.
(I guess there might have been a pedal manufacturer who sold gear to a lot
of manufacturers, in the same way as ARP, Moog and SCI all seemed to buy in
the same little metal footswitch.  But the style of the lettering is pretty
conclusive, I think.)
I wonder if Dynacord designed the CLS-222 to be able to use these
footswitches - that could be useful.  The more modern version that went with
the CLS-222 does have two switches and a stereo jack plug.

I am quite sure, that it is the footswitch for a Dynacord or Echolette
Leslie (I remember them from the shop where I worked in the late 70ies, ealy
eighties). Have a look at those:

I am not sure, whether membership is required to see those:

The switches were original intended to switch mains power to the motors. 
They were often modified to work with 6,3mm jacks.
