The Japanese market turn signal switches had a different angle on them to cope with the different dish of the steering wheels.

Just gently bend your turn signal switch stalk to suit.

How is the aforementioned Works car coming along? Any more recent pics? I'd love to see some!

Yes there are. See here:
