Someone knows which are the part numbers for the crown and glass for the E871?

Hi Everybody,
I needed some help to identify this vintage JLC ultra thin (movement thickness is less than 2mm)
I was told it was a 145 caliber, but this week I^ve found a picture in internet of a cal 145, and it doesn´t look exactly the same
Any help is welcome
Thanks!
