You have a right to think that way but my personal opinion is that the second hand is a little more weaker than the other two as it is holding less tritium. So i think it is possible that it can be few shades darker or lighter from the other two. If it was the minute or hour marker showing different shades i would definitely think it could be swapped. Here is another example of darker second hand which i like alot
It would be nice to see some photos of yours also
