How do I hook up a NE 6Q dial into a Northern Electric type NO telephone set?

The 6Q dial has only 4 terminals, whereas the NE 5 H dial has the standard 5 terminals common on all WE dials in the 1950's.
The telephone is a Northern Electric type N0 1 as shown in the photo. I wish to use the 6Q dial with 4 terminals on this set, thus I can use the 5 H dial on a manual 302 I recently acquired.  Any assistance would be great!

Connect the hookswitch lead that's on BB of the 5H dial, and the white receiver lead, together on the W terminal on the 6Q dial. The jumper from L1 currently on R of the 5H goes to the other shunt contact on the dial (can't read the designation). May work better to move the other end of this jumper from L1 to R on the induction coil--whichever way makes less of a pop in the receiver when dialing.
