I may have a spare Stronglight A-9 locknut in my spares collection and it's the same (or close enough) as used on the other needle-bearing models (B-10 which had plastic/alloy hybrid cups and Delta which had deeper more "sculptured" alloy cups). So pics of the cups will answer which model you have.
A-9:

No worries. I just haven't had time to take pix yet. Will post ASAP.

One of the races for the needle bearings in the headset is missing--I think it got lost at the shop. So it may just be easiest to get another new headset?

Anyway, I appreciate all the help and don't worry about asking me to provide whatever is needed in order to facilitate that.

More later.
