Brampton Rewax?
Replacing should be a matter of finding a headset that has the right stack height (looks like you have some extra washers on it now, that's ok) and a lockring with either a tab or flat to match your fork (flat can be made into a tab with a file).
When adjusting, make sure the quill is tight first; often tightening it will distort the steerer tube a bit and that'll mess up any adjustment made before tightening.
