Shimano SL-6207 downtube shifters from eBay. Missing parts?

Recent eBay purchase. From the parts I have I believe I am missing a round washer and slotted washer on each side. Agree?

only oddity is that the 6207 bosses that I have which seem compatible with square and B-type bosses are not shown on this diagram page.

Yes, you are correct. Both of those washers are needed for the shifters to operate properly.
They are easily, and often, lost.

Check the washer is not attached to the shifter. They can be stuck in there. And the washer on the black plastic part can be stuck to it too.
Worth checking, I have these at home and I thought I was missing a part and it was there all along.

You might want to try checking some bike shops as they may have some in their parts bin.

i have looked at the only place in town that carries old school stuff like this. While they are overrun with schwinn stem shifter sets the downtube inventory is non-existent. So in this case, I will be the parts bin for someone else.

let’s see how much cost I can recoup to offset the nice full set of Golden Arrow M4.5 shifters I just got off the Bay
