BN4 Steering Escutcheon ring

[BlueHealey]

I am fitting the escutcheon ring to the dash and having a bit of trouble. From the parts manual two different rings are available and it may be that I have the wrong one for my adjustable steering column/wheel. The escutcheon assembly consists of a triangular backing plate that goes behind the dash. The finisher ring is then inserted from the front and the legs bent around the backing plate to hold the assembly together sandwiching the dash panel between them.

Is this correct? The tabs are visible and ugly! Doesn't look right to me. Is that because I have the escutcheon for a non-adjustable setup?

If so how does the adjustable set up differ?

Many thanks........

Many thanks for all your prompt and detailed responses. It has been suggested that the escutcheon for an adjustable steering/column uses a backing plate with a larger hole to allow the retaining legs to pass through the hole and bend outward.
On checking various parts listings from the big name suppliers however only one backing plate is ever listed. Even the AH original parts list only offers one example - part no. AHB5406. Perhaps RickS has a one-off special.

RichC has provided a response (below) complete with photo that I have published here for others that may pass this way in the future.
