Doubts about sourcing Carrera Crown *LINK* *PIC*

Dear fellow watchnuts,

My name is Julien, from France, I am new to this forum!

I entered the world of vintage watches with my dad only recently, and I am trying to help source an original crown for his newly acquired 3647N, cal. 92 w/ 45min register.

I found a certain "Ernst Westphal" whose online shop can be found at http://www.uhrenteile24.de/

He has this Heuer signed crown http://www.uhrenteile24.de/product_info.php/info/p3890_8621F-Original-Stahlkrone---genuine-steel-crown-HEUER.html,
with following dimensions: 6,7mm x 2,65mm (heigth) x 2,5 (tube) x 0,9mm (thread)

Three questions:
- Do any of you know this dealer?
- Does original really means that it was produced by/for Heuer during the 60s/70s? Or are signed reproductions known to float around?
- Would this crown fit a first gen Carrera w/ Cal.92?

I'll leave a pic of the watch in question, next to my Lemania chrono!

Thanks for the help
Julien
