My cap attached looks noticeably different to Nat's. At the very least the four radial ribs between the contacts are longer, other than that being square on it's difficult to estimate the depth of the various areas round the middle.

Mine has 5mm clearance (measured with Blutak) between the top of the rotor and the ribs, and the housing for the centre contact is 2mm above the ring that t...

Sorry, I didn't notice those score marks. But this post is a good example of Nat not supplying a full story.
Once anyone says "after market" distributors I become instantly suspicious. They are often far from being accurate, dimensionally, or electronically.
By far the best solution to a worn Lucas item, is to get it rebuilt and "curved" to suite your engine.

Quite an adventure.

Breathless and snorting a line? 🤣🤣.
