Thanks for the link, John.
That eBay seller does not regularly sell tools it seems, so your suspicion about where they obtained the plane could well be correct.
Looks like the lever cap is older than the plane body. I believe it should be a lever cap with a kidney shaped hole, not the older type with the snowman shape. It is possible with a kidney lever cap the current screw may work.
Hard to tell if the frog is a correct match. Are the STANLEY letters on the red painted(!) lateral adjustment lever running vertically or on their side? Do the knurled grooves in the depth adjustment knob run diagonally or do they run parallel to the body?
