I have only been in one head with the lever closer, and that was a long time ago, but I don't recall anything attached there. Does it function? I have an old ratty head I pulled apart to give an exploded view, with the tools necessary to take it apart. You can see the large spacer, then the small inner spacer I made in the other pics (standing up with the large one, and on the spindle). -
I tend to replace them with friction fitted jewels, unless the client wants to keep the originality of the movement, but then they pay more for that luxury. -

You're right Rich, throwing money at something that is practically worthless. I've had i happen a few times, its disappointing, but a lesson learned in checking everything out before you put in too much effort. I'm still tempted to look through a load of balances and wheels i have to see whats doable with the genuine staffs, I'm thinking the wheel that it came with is not genuine, it's had it weight completely hacked down. -

Ok thanks it was just the brass cover next to the previous 3 keyless parts. Normally i wouldn't have expected that to be used to identify, but I've searched American, German and French part catalogs and coming up with nothing for the set lever,set spring and yoke. I will have another look later today. There is another way but you would have to measure the stem very accurately. -
The diameter of the dial side is 40mm, and the other side 36,5mm. Here is another picture
