I would agree with Mike. That looks like the switch CHP used to allow the scanner to share the Lo-band VHF antenna. I've never seen one, but that looks about like what has been described to me by other people.

As for the antenna, based on the size of the load (the black base), I'd say that is the roof-mount Lo-band antenna that replaced the whip. Since your box contained the red/blue Signalmasters that were part of the new rear deck system, I'd guess that your equipment came off a newer-gen car that did NOT have the whip.
