I think I see the confusion.... Those pix are of "replacement" lock nuts (or what I thought are replacements). The original locknut is chewed up (pix to come). It is very light alloy and you can hardly even see the the "Stronglight" on it now. Due to missing a bearing race (lost? dropped?) it may be best to just replace the headset???
