It is called a steering column switch assembly. Same for LHD and RHD.

The 3 stalk version you have cost more than the 4 stalk, for some strange reason. So you buy the cheaper 4 stalk and cut off the cruise control stalk.

Or you do what Jim suggest and find someone with an old 3 stalk that was replaced with a 4 stalk during an OBC retrofit. You remove your OBC stalk and put it on the donor unit, and cut off the cruise control stalk. The stalk/switch for the cruise control stalk is riveted in place so you cannot remove it like the OBC stalk which is screwed in place.

If it were me I would get the 4 stalk and do the cruise control retrofit.
