Looking at the e-bay add, the big flange would go towards the balancer.

The billet retainer on ebay is what Dellow make now. They discontinued the pressed metal type many many moons ago.

I made my own.................but then again I'm super duper.
The Dellow/NOS ones will stop it falling off forwards but they can also go backwards and machine the timing cover away.

The retainer plate you have was sold from a SA dealership in the mid 70's. There were two plates in the packet when l aquired them. I still have the original paper packing, and its sister, with that part number on it. I am not sure if that is a factory number or one issued to after market stock items. Regardless it is still a great insurance policy to have!
