I went down the rabbit hole this morning searching the forum, Weber schematics and parts web sites.
There are a number of there older style twist in ash catchers. The original SSP and MT had the style like Dave is trying to identify with the plate attached with rivets and mounts with the bar and thumb screw sweeps. This is the original bowl style ash catcher.
This post has good picts of all of these early styles.
How many different styles of ash catchers https://weberkettleclub.com/forums/index.php?topic=7988For the 2nd Gen Performer, One Touch Platinum and the early non-flat top 2008 OT 26 the ash catcher assembly would be Weber #85531 with the black bowl. #90466 for ring only and #63093 for black bowl. These may have been used for some grills approx 2005-2011. This style would be the first using the leg socket tabs to attach the ash catcher ring.
Change to an all aluminum/silver ash catcher assembly in 2012 Weber #63093. I believe these were the last version of the twist in bowl. The 3 parts making up the assembly are #85527 ring, #85531 bowl and #63038 handle. Weber #63092 for the 18” assembly version.
2015 was the change over to the squeeze style ash catcher handle. Weber #65143. This is still the current part sold on the Weber site as a replacement part for all grills. Also still the current ash catcher assembly for the current 2022 Original Kettle Premium 26” only.
The current version, I believe starting in 2019, has small holes added to the ring to act as indicators for use with bowls with the P style bowl vents.
Weber #69383 w/silver bowl used on black Original Kettle Premiums 22”, black MT, 70th ed and current Performers.
Weber #67594 w/black bowl used on the red LE, Summit Charcoal/Kamado and colored MT.
So we still need to identify a part # for the Gen 1 style ash catcher in Dave’s picts. Correct me if I have anything wrong.
