·Both are clear redial. First one is not even pie-pan, it's a dome dial.
If I may follow up on that @TNTwatch with one more question, trying to train my eye here:
While everything that was said is comprehensible for me, the one point I now fail to see is the difference in the form of the dial between 1 and 2 (or, not to confuse you guys again, the one with and the one without the “pie pan line”). Might be the black dial which doesn’t give a clear contrast/show the edge like the brighter dials, but is it possible the second one is also a dome dial? If not, would you mind to point me to a spot in the pictures where this becomes visible?
Again, thanks for the input. Trying to learn as much as possible to survive the aforementioned “minefield” I’m moving in.

As you noted, old black dials are harder to see the pie-pan edges so start with non-back pie-pan dials of similar models and vintages to get familiar with, and then be much more careful with black dials.
