1874 sharps sight identification

[40MikeMike]

I just recently bought an 1874 sharps by pedersoli and its missing the rear eye cup and I would like to change the front inserts but need help identifying who makes the sights.
My initial thought are these are made by pedersoli as my limited research has suggested but looking to confirm my suspicion before purchasing the parts.
Also any suggestions on which websit to order the parts from?
Thank you everyone for your help

I think that peep is a standard thread. I forget the pitch, but just look online for pedersoli vernier sight replacement peep. I think the hadley eye disc threads match, or they make a specific replacement, but you won't like the price! Check leeshaver.com or buffaloarms.com.
The front looks like a lyman 17, but if you take out the insert and show a pic I can confirm.

Here is the front insert, looked real briefly at some of the hadley eye cups, they seems to be around $100 which is fine, I got the rifle on a good deal

Should the rear sight be threaded on the rear sight? I don't see any threads on the rear sight for where the eye cup should be

The hadley looks good, I haven't pulled the trigger on one yet. But if you're going to compete with your rifle, the adjustable aperture can really help when the light changes during a match.
That's not lyman 17, but if you look on those sites I mentioned, I'm sure you'll find a match. Lee shaver makes inserts for a number of sights, they're crisp, clean and he offers them in many different configurations.

I don't have a pedersoli, but the carage that slides on the ways should be threaded in that hole. The eye cup has a male threaded stud that tightens the carage against the ways.

Those look just like my Pedersoli sights.
