Puzzles of my "black dwarf"

So a few weeks ago finally got my first disco which quickly earned the nickname of Dwarf. Slowly sorting out some of the unavoidable issues - today was the centre console day.
The ATCM throws a C1A01-96 code, the special programs icons all light up green, but there is no confirmation light on selection. So started looking into it and noticed that the panel has all but one of these tiny metal clips missing. Anyone knows the part number for them?

Gear selector wont fix in the straight position. It turns a bit to the left and back... I assume there some clip/ring missing there too?

And then theres the badging.. Theres no HSE or SE on the back, just "LIMITED BLACK". Also this on the console

Cant find anything about any special black series of discos, so I assume its most likely a fake done by someone from the previous owners?

Pretty sure the clip is FYC500030.

No idea about the black series. Different markets had various “exclusive” or “limited” versions over the years.

I was also sure it was FYC500030, in fact so sure - I ordered a bunch of them (and FYC500040 for good measure), but they are completely different. This is the one is question:

So how the heck do you get that shifter knob off? The DPO took my shift console apart but left the knob and it was an absolute bear getting it back toether.
And yeah the cover keeps popping up. Annoying as all get out.

You just grab it and pull… By the way - tried another shifter knob from breakers, same thing - rotates to side. So the mystery missing part must have been on the stalk or inside it.

Shifter knob looks like its sitting lower than normal , possibly pushed down too much ?
