Hello Tim,
Do you remember the serial numbers?
Did you ever rebuild a diamond D with the extra lead weight still on it?
How much difference does the larger horn make?
Was the carriage different? The diamond D will not fit in a 30 50 75 carriage
unless you install the reproducer and then attach the weight.
