I have a question: could this dial be from a Connie, reference number 2943, cal. 504? I've never seen anything like it.

But still a Ref. 2843, because it is not a gold dial.
I was just illustrating that there are examples of Constellation Calendar watches with arrowhead markers.

That's right, I've seen a dial 2943 with arrowhead markers, but never with a lume in front of those markers. That's why I asked here, because I know there are Connie collectors here who have seen more than me.

I think it's possible that the lume dots were added by a previous owner/watchmaker. The dots are quite irregular (beyond aging), so I don't think they were there ex-factory.

Yes, they do look pretty wonky, so I would agree with you here.

I agree, but please provide an example from reference 2943/2954, if you have seen one anywhere, because that's the point. I have never seen anything similar in this reference(2943/2954)
I cannot, but your watch in question have had the markers applied post-factory by an amateur, if we judge by the craftsmanship 😀

I have a question, does the double reference number 2943/2954 mean that the dial should also be gold?

It means it could be either, both an 18kt case with a normal dial ( 2943 ) or an 18kt case and 18kt dial (2954). So a dual reference case. The same for others, for example 2852/2853

Thank you very much. This answer is very helpful to me in this situation.
