Explorer 1016 evaluation

Hello crew,
I've inherited a 1016 Explorer. The serial is 2118XXX and my research dates it to 1969 and the papers that I have for it also date it to 1969. It is in very, very good condition cosmetically, has a 78360 bracelet with what appear to be 593 end links. I think, obviously, it has been serviced. It could possibly have begun life with a MK2 matte dial and a 7836 bracelet? I love this watch and it has sentimental value so I have no intention to sell it.

1. What are your opinions on its general condition?
2. What dial version is this? Service dial 3,4,5?
3. Why does it have these EL's? Would the 580 EL's provide a better fit?
