Bikes: I haven't counted lately

This is a Stronlight a9 headset

I have searched this forum and youtube but have no actual info I can use. This headset is lettered "Paramount" if that helps

Any help greatly appreciated.
The smaller steel race goes inside the beveled bearing, the bigger one goes on the outside of the bevel.
