The catch is ok. In this variant whole hardware was factory altered. Cast in hinge and catch were ground off and replaced with sheet metal hinge and ?-mark catch. Soldering job around the catch looks crude but it is well covered with original finish hence I would not bother about it.
Here is mine of the same variant for comparison.
Cheers,
