The individual Bendix plate is missing from the photo archive but is in the plate section of parts manual. Here are both 55-6 plates. Threw in the 53-4 Bendix for comparison although that illustration is not as detailed. You can download the entire 48-54 parts plate sectionhttps://www.packardinfo.com/xoops/html/downloads/partslist4854/48-54_Plates.pdf if you want the complete info. Basic linkage part of system was about the same as the 55-6 but pump was somewhat larger in physical size.
If you decide to go with the Monroe try and get a complete system out of the same car if you can. Pumps are the same for Monroe and Bendix but there was an extra orifice piece in the Monroe pump to increase the pressure over that the Bendix required.
