I deleted my original response so I could double-check.
The inner ring of four screws appear to be rotated if the logo is kept at the top which is a good thing because we can re-drill fresh screw holes. Excellent.
Do all the other 12 perimeter screws follow the original spacing of the aluminum bed plate? I've several bed plates and found spacing to be finicky.
And welcome, welcome. So very glad to have you here.

The screw holes are lined up. If you need fresh holes simply turn 5 degrees and make new holes.

Yes, I would think that Reis would provide the link in their post. Maybe the new owners are still on training wheels.
Hope this helps

Regarding the product...
It looks quite nice.
You mentioned that it's milled out of 6061 aluminum, which is fine.
But I hope the boss on the back is an added component.
If it's milled from billet, that would waste a huge amount of material.

Only a life-long experienced machinist would notice that, Leigh. :)
