The pieces you describe appear to be sheet metal on some watches, and casting on others
Welcome!
By the numeral 3, the components are called "the keyless works" which really means "parts that wind the watch and set the position of the hands"
I'm not sure what is being contained by the cover at 8.
I'm not surprised that these vary - in fact not just in construction but in color; the watch in the central image laying on its side appears to have a black cover.
When you have small production, you can constantly make little changes and improvements either in cosmetics, function, or ease of production.
Nice watch, regardless.

I own 005 myself too
I was told it is an option of late if you bring your watch for complete overhaul you can opt to update your watch ie change the “covered” to “skeleton”.. yours could have been in a services of late. Personally I prefer the original look ie what it was whe...
Speaking as a website editor, why mess with a page & image when you don’t have to
You may be over-thinking this…
BTW what happen to that piece of skeleton between 6 and 8 on yours?
Seems missing a part? Or it’s lighting on photo that hidden that skeleton part?
