In that shot of 3P0 above, it almost looks like a hex nut on the end of a bolt, rather than a round carriage bolt.
Like the head of the bolt/screw is on the backside.

I love that sandstone display near the top. B-e-a-u-tiful.
Yeah, that looks like it could be correct, nice job!So I tried with just flipping it around, so that the smooth part is underneath and bolt is outward facing, and with the line you see between the bolt and nut I don’t think it looks right. I swapped out the carriage bolt entirely for a hex head bolt I had lying around and I think this is closer. There’s might have been a shallower head than I have but I feel like this is closer to the look.

Did you try running a 3/8" carriage bolt through, from the back, then adding a hex nut on the front, without any washers?
I will say, I like the LOOK of the smooth head carriage bolt better, but what you've done here does look more like the screen shot you posted.
Wow dude!! This is an AMAZING thread. I have a lens on the way... thanks for all this info!
Anyone think we might be looking at the rear element of the lens stuck in the middle and not a bolt at all? Looking at some other reference photos you can see it looks more like a round shape (i.e. not a hex bolt) with a distinct line around the edge, which could match the look of the rear element... Thoughts?
