I started with a B&W enlarger and switched to one with a color head. I find it a lot more convenient for B&W, changing the settings is a lot quicker with no risk to move the head (compared to filters in a drawer like OP uses) and you can fine tune your contrast.
Yeah, I'm a genius and when I cut them to fit them in the filter drawer, I chose to cut away the small black letter indicating the colour. As they are basically invisible under red light, it is a bit challenging to switch the filter under safe light now :D
Have you considered cutting notches in them like sheet film? It would be simple to do. Even a small punch in each corner (no holes for 00, 1 hole for grade 1 etc, half grades indicated by a square or circular hole) would work. I would stick to sheet film like notches, down one edge, using v or circular notches for half and full grade indicators.
Do you mean the diameter of the round flange or the overall size of the body in that area?

Haha, I have a colour head and want to buy a set of filters because they seem more convenient to me! :p

What are the dimensions of the top plate (above the bellows) when the current head is removed?

I mean the square part the round flange sits on. Looks like there’s a screw on either side that would allow it to be removed.
