I have a BA11-M box with the usual front panel control,

there a replacement for
those switches?
In general, many old switch patterns are still made.
Often, they have a manufacturer's name and part # on the
body of the switch. Some common makes from back then were
C&K and Alco.

Good advice, I went and looked at another box I had and
the switches are indeed C&K models 7101 and 7108. Looking
on ebay since they are obsolete, finding the model with
the paddle actuator will be the trick.
You should really get on Digi-Key or other distributor who
has a good web site and see if you can find a new model that
fits the same mounting hole and PC board pattern. Even if
C&K obsoleted the exact model, they very likely still make a
compatible part. Digi-Key shows 408 items when I search on
"C&K 7101". Some of those REALLY look like stuff I remember
in DEC equipment.
