The dimpling on pressed parts is due to the press they used. It was held in a press and then bent over a custom tool, hence no dimples on the bent part.
Quite common on older presswork.

The projection system is clever and works well when set up. My 104A is excellent with the original mirror.
Try for a piece of polished stainless steel rather than glass, I will be cutting some next week if you want a piece. PM me the size etc if you wish.

Is the bulb holder a bit sick?
