Can anyone please help me identify the correct semaphores for my 1952 Karmann Cabriolet project? The ones that came with the car are from a later car and beyond repair.

My car was build 20.06.1952

I think they should be SWF ribbed semaphores with two screws on the arms but I cannot be sure. Is that correct?

If anyone can help, I would be most appreciative. A part number would make you a hero!!! A set for sale would make you a legend.
