What you have is a "late"  or at least later 252.  The headlight will have only one wire.  Check the socket by loosening the bulb, bending the retainer back, removing the reddish contractor.  Put it back in with the lil screw holding the wire facing the front.  Right now, its facing the rear and not making contact.  If the bulb tests out ok then put it back in making sure that the lil square contact on the reddish contractor is centered in the socket.... The rest of the wiring looks fine based on the pictures... a good cleaning may do it.  Also lube it with some good synthetic lightweight oil...that is also key.

The brush plate looks right for that type of motor...it is a Type 7 from 1930.
