1952 Omega Sea master questions

I am currently in the process of restoring a 1952 Omega Seamaster 2576-22 (Rose Gold).




I know that the crown I have now does not match what I want. The research tells me that the actual era-specific crown would be a clover-style long feet logo. I also want to get an era-specific buckle but I am having difficulty confirming what would have come with my watch. I do not know if it would have come with the "big logo" buckle or something else.

My questions are:

1. If I am correct would a 2.5mm clover crown be what I am looking for?
2. What was the buckle that would have been sold with a 1952 Seamaster?

I really appreciate what I have already learned from this community.

Yes. If you can find a RG, flat feet logo clover crown with 2mm tube opening I'd buy that and swap the tube though. Period-correct RG ones aren't easy to find so changing the tube would, to me, be preferable to spending another couple of months or so hunting a 2.5 example.

2. What was the buckle that would have been sold with a 1952 Seamaster?

I'm not sure there's a clear answer to this question. I think the big logo buckles were slightly later, my uneducated guess would be this style:
