Thanks for the info. I don't recall removing anything from this - it may have broken-off, but quite a while ago now.
And it would have been nice if the manual had some better drawings / photos, that later VCR service manuals often had. So I will keep an eye out for any more recent photos that anyone's taken and maybe posted online.
Plus I'll investigate getting a 3D-printed replacement if I can find it on a translated version of that website, so thanks for that info.
