Hi Tom. This appears to be either the S380-26 or S385-26. The only difference between these two balances is the depth of the bottom nylon shoe, or the 'heel-to-toe' measurement, so compare both with your old hardware to see what matches best. See the image below. In either case, a stamp option of 2530 is indeed what you need to go with.
