I have the lid in my hand and from what I see there are the screws holding the silver panel on. Does the part split apart after this panel is removed? The base is made from two parts, can they be pried apart or are the glued together?
These parts have to be apart to assemble the latch.
It may be that you will have to buy the correct colour base on eBay and fix your silver trim to it if the silver colour is wrong or not as good as yours is.
Frankly I think buying a replacement part is the best idea as that spring hinge would be a nightmare to reassemble.
