I think that's a National. My Two Spools and Graybar look similar to that tension and threading. And the Montgomery Ward Damascus Grand Rotary has this similar threading too.
Will you post photos of the rest of this machine. I would like to see it.
Ok, I now have so time to look at my machines.
Looks like you have yours threaded correctly. Here are the steps in threading my machine. The top photo is the first and you thread through the groove in the top disc. Does yours have a similar groove? Then down and around the larger disk that is the upper tension pulley. Then down under the auxiliary hook, 3rd picture, and up to the take up, and back down at guide and then through needle left to right.
