I have a series IIIs
It is wired exactly the way you have shown it in your pictures. The fine black lead earths the tonearm to the post and the white lead goes from there down to the screw that is broken on your arm. The separate ground on my phono interconnect goes to tha same screw.I would try using the screw at the bottom of the directly earthed (left) post to clamp the interconnect cable ground wire. I assume that Mosin does this on one of his posts.
You would check that the outside shells of the RCAs are grounded. If they aren't that probably means that they were depending upon the broken screw and you probably should restabish a ground at that pointthen I would restablish grounding at the broken screw.
I can't see why you would need the external ground shown in your 1st photo unless the black ground from the tonearm is broken.
Hope that this helps
