1. The NMSC-Cicero foundry symbol is incorrect. It should be an H inside of a C, not two mirror image Ds. See
http://web.inter.nl.net/users/spoelstra/g104/foundry.htm
2. The circular marks should be more distinct with a little pip in the center (they look to have been machined, not cast-in)
3. For some variety, you could add a small rectangular pad on the right (dark) wing. There were NMSC-Cicero bogies with the circles and no pad, with only the pad, and with both, and with neither.
4. There should be some small marks alonside the center two webs.
5. The foundry marking on the arm should be OSF, not OSE (Ordnance Steel Foundries) and B168353 (looks like B188353).
6. The circular knockout marks at the ends of the lever Iunder the bolts that hold the wear pads should be removed.
Note that the different markings on the ancillary parts in my photo do not indicate anything wrong with the Tasco set. This is just one existing combination.
