Joseph,
The style of the typewheel is on the wheel. Its facing the platen. MA, ME and PS are the common ones.
Dont run your machine without a good replacement hammer on the metal one.
If you need a couple of vinyl hammers give me your address and I will send you a couple. No charge.
They used to be rubber but now we are using vinyl.
The link above will give you quite a lot of info if you want to utilize it.
Best regards,
Wayne
