Yes, I'm missing the Pink "ruler" (guide)
Looks like you have 3 of the springs.

Do these work for slant shanks do you think? I know it says universal, but the angle of the needle seems like it might be an "exception"....

Depends on how much time you want to spend bending and twisting the wire to work. Took me quite a while to get it on my machine properly. And then the needle still rubbed on the wire which can cause the thread to break during FMQ at higher speeds. I'd probably stick to a trusty, darning foot if available. I much prefer my darning feet to darning springs.
