Columbia BKT -- crank hole escutcheon?

Hello. I'm restoring a Columbia BKT Graphophone, and I can't tell whether or not it's supposed to have a metal crank hole escutcheon. It appears from what I can see on the case that it would have had one at one time, but the pictures I have found online are inconclusive; the clearest one I can see shows an escutcheon that looks wrong -- it strongly resembles one from a post-WWI Grafonola. If anyone has a BKT that does have an escutcheon, and you're sure it's original and correct, would you kindly post some pictures of it? If you could include measurements -- inside and outside diameter of the hole, and the distance between the screws -- I would be most grateful. And if anyone has a spare to sell, please let me know! Thank you very much.
