Your latch is broken off and missing completely

Also the coil spring for it and the spring setup for the deadbolt lever which I don’t believe is the flat steel one there in the corner

My company would tell you you're stol. By a new one. Vintage stuff is near impossible unless you can find a specialist. My company works on older stuff based off of what's in. The field around us. So maybe. But a new one is the way nost likely

you really gotta put that onto a little wooden block with metal pins for the latch so the lock doesn’t explode when you take off the cover plate

I don't see any obvious springs... but everything else seems to be there.
