Yeah, the top throat plate in your picture is for the chain stitch feature and you have to insert that bobbin cover (spider?) as well.
I'm not sure about this only working on the Athena 2000 but I looked at the T&S 758 manual and it does say you need 3 things to chainstitch on the T&S: the bobbin cover, the throat plate, and a special thread guide. Also, the pic of the T&S throat plate looks different than the one in your picture and the Athena manual. So, I suspect that your accessories are from the Athena 2000 machine and won't work on T&S's. I'm not sure though.
