Only a simple ohm test of switch in on & off positions is necessary to verify continuity.
Assuming only one dial lamp, bayonet base bulb should always be #47 or #51. If mfgr used something of higher current, they are outside the original design of 35Z5. This is not to say one can't fudge a bit.
BTW there are many later type bulbs that are 6.3v@150ma. Numbers #130, 755 & 1847 come to mind, any of these could be used.
