I believe that vintage Fenwick used Perfection ceramic guides. Not sure if those are still made or not, but somebody should have a few lying around.

If you want to shoot photos of the front profile of the guide, I am sure I probably have a slightly larger one that would suffice as the 1st guide. The primary thread definitely looks like 5274 Chestnut. Send me an e-mail if you can't find one.

Pretty sure they were Varmac Guides. Similar to Perfection except wire frame was longer. They used both but that looks more like the Varmac.
Sorry I can`t remember the style no.
