no idea
need to see pics of all shutter variations to decide

but found this comment on the web
''..Aluminum shutters have smooth blades. Titanium shutters have a honeycomb pattern on the blades...''

Here is an article covering the different types of FM2 shutter blades & why they changed

Be interesting to see what it goes for in the end as the FM2n looks to have been going up in price lately. I got mine around a decade ago & it has Titanium blades.

Certainly looks like being titanium going from that then. Pity the viewfinder lens is missing tho makes me wonder if its been a bit neglected

I think that just means it's been used. They can unscrew simply by rubbing when the camera is worn around your neck on a strap, I'm forever checking my FE2 to make sure it's still there. It's not really a lens though, more a see-through cover so the camera is usable without it and Fuji use the same size cover for the X-Pro so it should be relatively easy to pick one up.

Not necessarily. They can come unscrewed & fall off quite easily. I was once walking down the road with my FA over my shoulder & I saw one rolling past on the floor overtaking me. It had fallen off my camera. It also might have been replaced with one of a different dioptre that the seller has decided to keep hold of?

I have bought a few Nikon's from ebay for my collection where the eyepiece has been missing. They cost £10 to £20 for a replacement.

If you're stuck for one or want plain instead of a dioptre correction, your best bet would be to contact a camera shop that's an approved Fuji dealer, such as LCE (Civic Centre) in Southampton. They'd bought in a stock of various Nikon pieces last time I was in as those were cheaper than the same thing with a Fuji badge.
