LOX Dome

The LOX dome (sometimes called the "oxidizer dome") is located at the forward end of the engine and routes high-pressure liquid oxygen (LOX) from the turbopump to the injector, where it is mixed with fuel and subsequently burned.

I was interested in seeing the aft face of the LOX dome, as F-107-1 at Science Museum Oklahoma without its injector. I'm fairly certain that the aft face of the LOX dome is visible, but was hoping to confirm via inspection of this LOX dome. While the LOX dome was too heavy to turn over, I was able to get some photos of the interior of the LOX dome, taken through an inlet.
