Success at last! I used a small spot of moly grease on the pivot hole of each blade when reassembling them and got the diaphragm back together first time! It then took *a lot* of flushing with solvent to remove this grease, but eventually I ended up with a fully working shutter :-) In retrospect, maybe a much lighter grease or oil would have had the same effect.
I expect that, as Dan says, they possibly used a similar technique employing "assembly grease" on the production line when they made these things.

Many thanks for all your help and suggestions!
Cheers, Colin
