No problem. Was too easy though. What do you have for round 2?

Hey folks,
Also need help identifying 2 first stages:
Haven't taken them apart yet, just came in.
The one on the left looks like MK5 to me and it came with a rather nicely preserved 109/15x 2nd that I will try to revive. Unfortunately looks like the orifice is a motivated applicant for a one way trip to the bin. Everything else is pristine. It looks a bit like a botched job with rectangular holes on the diaphragm cover, blue diaphragm and the older style adjustment knob (will post pics later when I clean it up a bit)
The one on the right looks like late MK10 and it came with a brilliant G250.
From your experience: are these really MK5 and MK10 (European market ones)?

If it came with a SP 109, this is quite sure a MK5. If the SP 109 has a C behind it's S/N, then it should be European.
And this looks clearly like a MK10.......
If you can't find parts, you can contact me, I have plenty.......

Took the 2nd stage apart and cleaned it up a bit.
Orifice goes straight to the bin indeed. It was already a victim of someone's attempts to take it out before me
Poppet is identical to the one on my G250, with the seat.
Orifice... I will try to source a metal one from somewhere. (if you have some @axxel57, that would be great, will reach out on direct message)
What worries me is that the chrome plating on the inside seems to be worn out. Will check what it looks like after the ultrasound baths later on today.
About the 2nd stage, still not sure what it is.
Exhaust is smaller than 30mm (I read somewhere that older ones had smaller exhaust).
Ser# however starts with 96, which I guess is the manufacture year, making it one of the later models. C in the end... European.
Older style adjustment knob with the fine grooves on the dial.
So... Q1: can you help me identify what it is exactly?
Q2: is there a proven way to restore the chrome plating on the inside, or do I leave it the way it is?
