I should draw up a point block that will fit the repro plate and fix the alignment. Aluminum should work. Whats the original? Zinc?

I have no idea what metal it's made of. I always assumed (I know what that does to you and me) that it was pot metal (did aluminum exist in 1928?). I just did a magnet test on my spare and it's non-ferrous.
