Tudor Oysterdate Small Rose Originality Check

I recently purchased a 1965 Tudor Oysterdate Small Rose Ref. 7962, and wasn't able to find any other watches of the same reference with the same dial. I also wasn't able to find any official/explicit information that would allow me to authenticate the dial on my watch.

I can confirm the movement inside is a Manual ETA 2403, consistent with what should be in such a watch. My main issue is with the dial.

The dial in question has 'T Swiss T' printed below the 6 o'clock applied marker, however, the hands aren't lumed and there are no lume plots (or residue to indicate they were once on the dial).

So I would like to ask if any of the members on here would be able to educate me on:1) The authenticity of this dial​2) Whether the dial belongs to this reference of Tudor watches (as there seem to be multiple dial variations of this reference)​

If they the dial is authentic and the dial belongs to this reference3) Has the dial been refinished, and if the answer is yes, which of these below is (are) what has happened to this watch:​a) The lume plots that would've once been on the dial but have fallen offb) The applied indices aren't original (positioing and/or size caused them to position differently, in the process covering where lume plots would've been placed)​c) The hands were replaced with non-factory hands for this watch (the original hands had lume on them)​

If there are any resources you may have on vintage Tudor dials, could you please share it with me so I can discover more about watches.
Thank you for your time, it is much appreciated.
