Might be jaded from all the black repaints we’ve seen, but the variation makes me question it.
I assumed you have seen something particularly suspicious on the dial.
I would love to see hires pics of all three dials or better inspect them in person.

I assume people have seen this one for sale on Ebay. Some parts of the dial are extremely crude and scream redial, and other areas the fonts look pretty OK to me. I haven't really studied in detail, but just wanted to capture the images here. (I've adjusted the first two to make them lighter as the seller pics were very dark).

It doesn't help that the hands are a mess, the case correctors and pushers don't look right, not sure if the moonphase dial is replaced. Anyhow it doesn't exactly come off as untouched.
I'd say it's a redial. A good one maybe, but redial.

The first one - imho - is 100% original.
For the last one we have only one pic - no close up - to judge it, but it looks nice to me.
