And this one with the thrower blades ?

I bought them as spares so don't know what they were fitted to, is there anything to gain by fitting the thrower blades to a Special ?

Yes, but those aren't Victa thrower blades - they are stepped & fluted, and the Victa ones were only fluted, IIRC. The thrower bolts are correct I'd say - Victa used the same bolt/washer set for both cutter and thrower blades on these carriers, with the bolt head on the blade side of the carrier.

The Belleville washer is installed incorrectly on that cutter blade set, though!
