Identifying Muhle R 89 base plate

Title pretty much sums it up. I dropped the Muhle several years ago and broke the screw on the head. Razor acquisition kicked in and I started using the base plate on other razors. I eventually bought a replacement head but can’t figure out which base is the right one. Any ideas on how to identify it? Thanks in advance.
 
It has a distinctive shape. The underside of the base plate has a curved (concave) shape and there is a circular relief where the handle meets the base plate.

If you have the Muhle top cap, it has posts that are slightly angled on the ends. The angle matches exactly the curvature of the base plate, so that the posts will be nearly flush with the underside of the base plate when the top cap and base plate are assembled.
