67 Steering Column - Help

I honestly can't tell what's going on at the end of that piece.

Where the plastic bearing slides on, the smaller diameter section, yours appears to be longer and has a metal ring, the thing you cut through.

Also, on mine the plastic bearing is not 2 different diameters like yours, and the spring is between the plastic bearing and the inner column collar.

Is yours from a 67 manual column?
