Thanks Moe, I will keep that in mind when I start the disassembly. The state of the parts inside the hub shell is peculiar, as initially I have not be able to get the parts to nest together like I would expect. I am planning on a complete tear down with an eye to the exploded parts diagram and hopefully how to get it back together will be obvious.

As for parts: not that many people interested in IGH in my orbit, but I will see if I can find a replacement C-Clip. I think there may have been another of these same hubs (but with the brake shoes and mechanism missing) in the Bike co-op bin, which may be able to supply some parts. I expect I could order some parts from Aaron's in Seattle, but that delays things a week or two.
