Do you have better / clearer pictures, specially of the scroll to get a better look at the crown ?

He says the 18 behind the 78353, I do not understand.

The 78.353-18 is common but need a straight picture to see what's going on with the 18 and the crown/scroll..

There is a difference in how the 18 is placed in the clamp.
