Tourmax kit.

Cheaper to go this way that retain original setup and they should improve the handling as they stiffen up the backend.
Seabeowner:
The original 750/500 collar is available from DSS for a pricey £109 or from CMS a bit cheaper, but then extra for shipping if you want to go that way. Have you dismantled it and checked the parts? But as Bryan pointed out the collar is often worn.
Murf:
Those collars were around £82, €93 euro when I got mine in September 😳 which I thought was expensive then + about £30 for the bushes . So I think you are right, the Tourmax kit seems to be the way to go now.
Nurse Julie:
SOLD.....I have a new Tourmax 500/750 kit here. Had it a long time, no idea where the box is. Owes £75.00, so £75.00 + post at cost if anyone is interested. I think I offered it here a few years back but no one was interested.

Just my 0.02c.
If those are needle roller bearings, I wouldn't touch them with a barge pole.
Every bike I've ever had with needle rollers in the S/A has let water in and then the rollers have rusted and destroyed the expensive shaft.
That was despite the presence of grease.
Plastic or Bronze every time in my opinion.
Maybe there's a tiny bit of play but they last for donkeys years with regular greasing
