serial number, early 50's

[fenderjapan]

The serial number decoders don't seem to register this particular serial number.
I dated the movement serial number to 1952-1953.
This caseback is throwing me, thoughts?
Here is the movement (which dates to 52-53)

and here is the caseback that is confusing me

It's a Wadsworth case, so not linked to Omega case serials.

At least it’s easier to figure out than the buckles! I had been so confused trying to find a “genuine” buckle when I found the buckle thread 😲
