If so ... that's a special terminal, it slides into a groove the switch housing and actually makes contact with the bulb base. On the glove box light I'm pretty sure the bulb won't even stay in without the terminal inserted in the switch. I think the groove in the terminal is specially shaped to grab the prong on the bottom of the bulb.

Only place I've come across that exact terminal is the glove box light button/switch.

Yes, that is precisely how it works. It is used with the glove box switch as well as the center console switch on '66 GTOs (likely others, too).

I have been unable to find a name for what they're called or find them locally, so I contacted American Autowire. Cost me $10 to have them send me two of these terminals. Kinda frustrating to pay much for a few small terminals, but it is what it is.
