Missing parts for a DV 59 compound slide?s

My employer bought on ebay a compound slide which is missing whatever it is that clamps it to the bed of the machine. We have the Operators"s manual but what is shows is different from the machine we have. It shows a lever which would be across the bed from the operator and a "latch" that is raided to remove or move the unit. the lever loosens the compound to move it forward or back. Ours has tee slots on either side of the part that would be clamped to the lathe bed. I can see how something could be fabricated but it would be really great if someone could post a picture or sketch. Thanks in advance Ken

Dovetail bed Thanks Ken

Has to be a dovetail bed. The slide he has has the slots along the side for the clamp-down rig for the other kind (split bed) so he needs the front piece that has a two point mount on the front, and a lever piece that bolts to the back of the slide.

Operating the lever snaps it overcenter and brings a third point to bear on the dovetails.

I got a white dial slide for my split bed, and of course it was the dovetail type. So I had to mill the slots on the side. If I *had* the mounting hardware that should have been with it, I'd offer it to him. But it came without any of that stuff unfortunately.
