Have you even looked at how bad the fit of the wheel to the column is? By taking the horn piece and spring off and just setting the wheel down on the spline and standing back an looking at it? I'm not sure how you would cover up that 1/2 inch or so of exposed workings of the turn signal switch so it doesn't show. If you figure that out and it is simple you probably have something that you can market to others.

I'm thinking that you will have to do some mods to the tube from the canceling cam/horn contact on that tube and maybe some mods on the wheel where it goes through the the wheel to get that part to work.

Looking at this contact piece for that wheel and the pigtail that goes in the tube off the later unit it is going to take some figuring to have the piece for the wheel work with the with the contact inside the canceling cam.
