Is this a south bend 11?

I bought this sight unseen from a online farm auction. It was a pallet of lathe parts. It looks like it’s been in pieces for years. I didn’t want to see it go for scrap. I came with a freshly broken foot but I got the piece. 1 5/8” - 8 spindle with a faceplate and a four jaw chuck. A second smaller faceplate fits my sb 9. I seem to be missing one gear. Any Suggestions on what it should be? Are any drawings availed for these gears? Is this a model O? Is that a model mark under the serial number? Is this a model 11? Will headstock gears fit from any other model? Does anybody have a picture of what the headstock gears should look like? I got what looks like the original motor but no countershaft. So many questions.

Any help or leads would be appreciated.

Update on spindle size. I got the chuck off. The spindle is 1 1/2 -8 same as my sb9. The face plate is 1 5/8. Anybody need one?
 
Yes it is an 11" bench model series O.
By the serial number,J880, it was made in 1920.
This would be a Model 27.

I found a picture of a 1923 model 27 and it looks just like it. What did the series O have different than the others? I see the apron is different. Since it has a 1 1/2” spindle will the pitch on the newer gears be the same?

Thanks for the help

Kelly
