This dial is so sharp, I can't see how it isn't original. At least with repsect to the printing.
It is possible that the marker fell off or became loose and was repaired long ago. It is also possible that the original dial work was slighly off.
We sometimes forget that manufacturers in the 1930's and '40's didn't have some of the modern tools and techniques that exist today. I have seem similar anomolies on Omega chronographs.
Hope this helps,
