Well, yes indeed, that url has a photo like my first pic. I missed that last night when I looked at that accompanying wiring schematic and so did not realize those photos existed there - thanks so much! Indeed, it does look like that "piece" must fit somewhere on the other side of the pcb, as suggested. Weird, but I'd think the Ohm range(s) and Continuity would use a second set of finger contacts, especially since the omitted/absent contact set would be on the Ohmic side of the board (per the required front-side ClockWise dial rotation of the switch). I got a "parts only" 22-210 with busted meter scale glass on the way so will tear it apart and see what it reveals.
Thanks
