If you could give me the episode number, I'd be able to help you out.

I don't think you're going to get an answer to that question. It has been asked dozens of times by many folks and it seems that no one knows who played Schwump. (According to scripts, his name was Schwamp. The "U" is funnier.)
Regulars and first timers over at Miss Crump's bring it up now and then. A year or two back there was talk of putting an ad in a hollywood newspaper or trade publication hoping someone who knew the answer might see it and respond. As far as I know that was never done.
It's been close to forty years since the show went out of production so many who knew the answer are long gone and most of the others have forgotten.

If a TV and film researcher could find some kind of actors guild records for who worked on those episodes and got paid etc. I'm sure we could find out. But, it would take someone working on a book or a project like that to do the research.

To repeat the above question, in exactly which episode does this mysterious character appear?

Yep. That'uz my list. I'm still makin' some phone calls to the Screen Actors Guild and places to see if I can find anything out about the actor. If nothin' else, I can find out who would have records, if they exist.
