This is a 70 and before transmission, so reverse and 1st actually are in the
same spot. You have to push the lever in (down) and then shift into reverse
(Where 1st would normally be).
It took me a long time to find reverse as well, with no pattern on the knob,
and having to actually press down.

Don't feel too bad. When I bought my first Spitfire I had to call the
previous owner up and ask him where on earth reverse was. I couldn't find
it by myself. Who ever heard of up and forward for reverse?!
I find the shifters on Spitfire transmissions to be precise and clear. So
if you cannot feel where you are "stirring the stick", you might need new
bushings in the linkage of the shifter.
Regardless of all that, I think your dash light idea is perfectly good.
