I think the 503 has a different sized hopper and frame from the bigger models that had the same basic hopper and frame then just had extensions added. The frame and hopper pictured certainly look different to our 1154.

Your 503 is a 403 with an extension. The 402 hopper has the same part number so one of those should suit as well.
The larger models use the 603 or 753 base.

This is a 603

See how the top of the frame sits under the lip of the hopper rather than lower down the hopper? Also it's a higher capacity hopper but it doesn't have an extension.

Yes,subtlety different. A 603 carries alot more than my 503 though doesn't it...
Is that 600kg capacity...?

If I remember correctly the model number is the hopper capacity in litres, so 500 litres for your 503, 600 litres for a 603 etc. You wouldn't be far away saying 500kg for your 503, although the density and granule size of fertiliser varies

Yes of course. Bulky prilled lime sits in more...20,10,10, sits proud..
