·Seller states that the dial is original but has just been restored. I haven’t been able to find any others like this online for reference. Movement dates it to 1950-1951. Any advice? Thank you so much in advance!

··Oooo subtitles!Restored means repainted ie it is no longer original. That's why you can't find another like it. Most likely, it wasn't black originally.

Agree. To a man in the street, “restored” means it the original dial finish that been cleaned and perhaps had the lacquer reapplied to return it to how it originally looked.
Unfortunately with vintage batches it means the original dial finish has been completely removed back to bare metal, and repainted from scratch.
At best it’s a term that’s economical with the truth and at worst it’s intentionally deceptive
