I'm the original poster....
Part of the confusion here is that the parts diagram are drawn from the other side, so everything looks back to front compared to the photos.
I'm missing the piece on the extreme left of this image; so I haven't got anywhere to secure this piece at the front.
This also doesn't look like a separate part on the parts drawing. I make have to fabricate something....

RESOLVED!
The acorn nut (item 5) had been replaced by a left hand thread acorn by the original owner, so the whole assembly was loose and couldn't never be tightened.
Stripped bolt replaced, new acorn fitted - sorted.
The front of the lower guard doesn't have a mount to the swingarm, it doesn't need one - everything's tight now.
Also:
- no idea what the hole in the plastic part was for, I guess the original owner knew something that the rest of us didn't.
- the chrome and plastic parts were incorrectly mounted, sorted - now the rub on the sprocket has gone too.
Gotta love Original Owners!
Thanks everyone.
