Cant find the manual for Westar 2001 35mm film projector under the manuals section, am I right in thinking that Westars are the same as Centurys, and if so which of the Century models is the same as the Westar 2001?

Westrex /star 2001 is similar to a Century C. The castings on the upper and lower sprockets are removeable as in a Simplex XL type of machine. The intermittent drive gears + vertical shaft and associated hardware are different than a Century. The lens mount will have a notch to accept a pre-focused lens sleeve There are many models to the 2001 and since the company was bought about 20 years ago, your unit may or may not have been upgraded....ICECO in Miami has a manual on line at their site but it does not match my file copy from the original Westrex in London.
