At a guess I'd say you need to carefully roll/prise/peel  the bezel off its' flange maybe from the underside...??

The glass should just drop out when you have the bezel off. The works are attached into the case either by the terminal screws (if a plastic case) or there is a screw coming from the back screwing into the inner case.

At least that's how I remember it from decades ago.....

Maybe undo the nuts on the posts on the back? I'm still guessing- took photos of the two I have assumed lucas(one is 2" smiths) but didn't really look at detail see (not so good)photo if it's the same??

I thought I posted this before I went out earlier, is Pretty much what Ian said with a dodgy photo
   Good luck duTch

Thanks for the advice but I managed to source 2 brand new still boxed manufactured in 1956 (well pleased) !
