    Ok, so I've been looking closely at the minute hand. The length of the lume as a proportion of the hand from the base of the lume looks too much. It's greater than 50% where the Ranchero hands that appear to be on correct all original examples makes up approximately 50%. The end of the lume triangle is also blunt, where the lume on right hands tapers you're a sharp point. Lastly, the end of the hand itself is blunter than genuine hands. however, all of these features appear to be correct for a CK2914 Railmaster minute hand. I wonder if the hands have been mislabeled as Ranchero hands, when they're actually Railmaster hands?
