FWIW Here is a photo of the extract I received last August for my Seamaster 166.028 in which the issued extract that I received noted the dial as “silvered”.
I don’t recall if there were remarks provided regarding the dial when the extract request was made but I had to include photos since this was submitted online. That said I have another identical example of this reference with the silver color concentric dial with orange seconds hand and if/when Omega resumes the extract requests I plan on requesting an extract for that one. I am actually quite curious to see how it will turn out as well since, being in the US, I will have to request at the boutique and when I have requested extracts from the OB before pictures are not required or provided to the Heritage Department.
Based on my experience you will rarely get information about dial and hands on these seamasters.
Mine says hi.
The watch is a 2915 (as per the extract) and was serviced many times by Omega during its past life. My guess is that the dial and hands were swapped due to either damage or due to the new radium regulation.
If you and William swapped dials, the Pro/Non Pro dilemma would be solved and there would be harmony in the Omegaverse!
Whats interesting about yours (despite the lovely condition) is that unlike just about all others, it doesnt have mint green 70s lume …
Sort of a like a dial batch made around 1968 then a batch in ~1971 perhaps?

That will be A LOT more than 20 Dials....
FIFY
Regarding the Omega Museum having records of which dial or which chrono hand 🙄 (i.e. 'Ultraman') were fitted to any specific watch/serial number is highly unlikely in my opinion.
From my personal experience with ordering extracts, the lack of knowledge of vintage pieces on the museum side is quite evident.
Even when it comes to very basic stuff...
