Hello there. Both the top and bottom attachments lack wings, or 'side tabs', correct? See the image below for reference as to what I mean.

If they indeed both lack wings, then you have either an S351-27 or S390-27. The only difference between these two balances is the depth of that bottom attachment, or shoe. The depth can be considered the measurement from heel to toe. See the second illustration below for reference.

Compare both balances with your old hardware to see what matches best. In either case, for a new stamp code choose 2640.
