Hi Dom,

Having looked further am I right in thinking that the base sheet metal is rusty where the disk has fallen off?

These applied disks look like they've been reused and not made for this item.
I would suggest that you could replace the obvious missing ones by redistributing some from the back where they overlap.
So the question is what were they originally?
As I say they reminded me of Mon, and even though thats probobly not really helpful, I can't shake the impression that they may have an oriental origin. Possibly Chinese.
If you do swap some around , it might be interesting to examine the back of one. They look pressed out, but there may be clues.

Best
Gene
