It's too big. The square corner cannot be skipped. It must be there. Otherwise, the safety lever cannot be pushed down (safety on) when the hammer is at the down position. That corner on locking lug leaves space for the hammer.

The top thin layer of steel is not optional either, it covers the underneath empty space to prevent sand or dirt to fall in.
