Mine came with a box of 11 PLASTIC cams - black with white and red markings on them. Mine look identical to yours. But, I also have a black METAL cam that says ZIG ZAG on it. It just stays inside the little door on the top. In order to use the zig zag, you have to engage a lever inside the little door - press it down, I think. On page 24 of my book it tells you how to "zigzag sewing" - and says "inserting zigzag cam for zigzag stitching. I do not know if my machine came with the cam inserted in the proper place inside the little door on top, or if it was in the separate plastic box with the rest of the cams.
I love my machine. If you have any questions, please ask away.
I have the same machine, I bought it at auction, and it works better than my newer ones. I would love to have the manual to help with changing out parts/cams instead of guessing. It is somewhat the same as my old singer but still would like the real manual. Can you please make a pdf of your manual and send it to me? I'd be forever grateful.
If you don't know how to make a pdf, I'd be happy to help in that also.
