Omega Ranchero Project HANDS

Good morning, I'm writing this thread because I'm finishing a Ranchero project and I need the hands I can't find, and I think the watch deserves original hands. I'm posting some photos of the project, unfortunately unfinished due to the hands.
Any help is welcome. I need the hands or the Omega reference number so I can find them.
The project is based on a very good case and movement. I'll post some photos, and then there's the dial. This is a dial that I think we could call a barn find. I bought it from a watchmaker, and the story is that it's from an Omega Ranchero, and as soon as I bought it, the dial was replaced with a Seamaster dial. You know, at that time, Seamasters were much more expensive than Rancheros, and those things were sometimes done. The dial stayed in a drawer until now, and I bought it from the watchmaker.
I'm posting some photos of it to see what you think.
Well now I need the needles and there's no way to find them and that's where I need help and I hope that somehow, in the Forum, you can help me.
Thanks
.

Will be hard to find. Realistically, your best bet is to set an alert on eBay. If you’re lucky, you’ll hopefully get a ping at some point in the next five years.

Good morning, I got some NOS hands. The hour hand doesn't have the radius, but they're practically new.
This completes my Ranchero project. When I'm finished, I'll post the photos here.
I have to thank the forum members who contacted me, and especially Dsplash, who gave me the final contact.
Regards.

I bought the hands you see in the photo from this seller.
Write to him and ask about the minute hand. Is it the one in the ad photo or the original Ranchero hand like the one he sold me?
Regards

The hands come without Lumen. I put the one that comes with it in myself.

Yes but the hands in his listing are different than the ones in your photo unfortunately. The lume on the minute hand should be triangular
