I've never seen a worse bodge than that 'repair'.
You would be better double-scarfing in a completely new piece, with a grain direction that adds strength - you’ll probably have to splint it anyway if you don't, if there’s too much wood missing.

Going back together nicely, so far...
Next step, bit more tidying up, then splinting.

That 'repair' looks alarmingly similar to my hip's surgical wound five weeks ago when it got a post operative infection (which is still being treated).
You're certainly up for a challenge Harry, most people would have just binned it or sliced it off clean for a new headstock.

Not the neatest job, as I was using a dremel rather than a router, but we’ll see...
NB. As this was a ‘clean’ joint (no contamination from previous adhesives), I used Titebond instead of epoxy.
