Default Distributor Upper Contact Plate

I recently bought what appears to be a very original 1928 Canadian Tudor. As I have been going over things, I began to check ignition component clearances and noticed the points did not line up correctly. I purchased a new set and when I went to install them, I noted the new set do not align correctly, but there is also no adjustable block in order to align them. I attached pictures, because based upon other pictures, I am now thinking the upper contact plate is not original. It appears to have some sort of copper or bronze finish. The pencil is also pointing to a broken bake-o-lite insulator (it flaked apart as I was installing the points terminal stud) and now the plate will need replacing anyway. Any thoughts on whether or not this is an old aftermarket replacement plate?


Thanks in advance for any info...
