MG TD TF 1500 - TD Windshield and Wipers

The part that needs lubricating is my brain. Took the entire windshield apart and when I started to put it back together, I could not remember where these parts went.
Help!!!
Thanks,

I had a look at

https://www.moss-europe.eu/de-de/windscreen-td-1950-53-mgt--11--11--02

- no idea at all.

Do you have side wind deflectors or additional mirrors?

How about TA-TD wiper idler bearing & shaft.

Forgot to mention, both the hexagon end of the bearing, and the shaft, appear to have bits cut out – I wonder why?

It is obviously the idler, bearing and shaft for the non-motorized wiper.

Obviously, I did not observe carefully when I took it apart. What is confusing is the step cut into the end of the hexagon?
I can see no purpose in that cut.

I also noticed that notch at the end of the shaft and seen the need for it.

I think it is a case of using whatever parts were available in 1950.

At this point, I see need to pursue this further since all seems to be assembled correctly.

Sorry for the typos in my previous post. I did not read it carefully before I submitted it. It seems to infer that it needs to be pursued. It should read there is no need to pursue.
