My old build doc, Revision 12.28.17, says "DPDT (On / On)"
Thank you!

If you poke around with a DMM and see if there's any continuity in the "off" position, and find none (which is how I'm reading the schematic), then you could...
Use a DPDT on-off-on and solder a couple other caps at one end to the unused lugs, then solder the caps' other ends to ground. Boom — a 3-position setting.
Instead of just the stock on/off you'd have
on/off/mod.
The newer Cleaver gets rid of Q2's source cap, allowing the DPDT to be reduced to a SPDT (on/on) for Q1's source cap. A second SPDT is added in the form of a treble-bleed cap to ground.
Again, you could make the SPDTs on-off-on and solder in alternate cap values for each.
Best to breadboard and see what sort of spread you get, or the difference may be too little to notice or bother with. Maybe that's why it's already just an on/off, that and Keeley saving a few credits per unit to get in the market at the right price point.
