Looks that way. The heaters were after-market dealer add ons.
My heater is a 6v. Standard Motor Products makes a 12v switch that looks the same as the 6v one, part # HS 572. They have light bulbs behind the plastic knobs that glows brighter at higher speeds and dimmer at low speeds. Did you convert to 12v? I don't remember.
The round heater cores are available from other vendors without the tanks, etc. but were the same cost as the whole unit I purchased. My radiator shop also said it would be ridiculously expensive to recore it.
If your core can't be fixed, you can also use Jon G's suggestion and replace it with a homemade copper coil.
