Imfast,
The photos are fine.
At this point focus on getting your vintage razor lightly restored (ie. blade buffed and polished) and honed. That will insure that it is a sweet shaver for you.
Then practice stropping. After that, get a Chromium Oxide pasted balsa wood strop to maintain the edge.
All of the above should help you keep the edge on that razor from 6-12 months after it has been honed. You won't need a hone or an Arkansas stone until then.
Personally, I would hold off on using the Arkansas stone until you've gotten some experience with straight razor shaving. IMHO your Clauberg is too good a razor to practice honing on.
