Hey!
Seems like I’m on an UG barn find streak 😁
This one is sold locally, family watch. The seller knows there is an issue with the pushers (missing rubbers?)
The hands seem different from other examples I saw. Might be a nice mk2 underneath though?

My humble thoughts:
Hour and minute hands are wrong indeed
Will be very hard to find replacement for the (ideed) damaged pushers
Lume from 4 to 8 is far from attractive
What is the asking price?

Thanks for the input! Asking price is a little below 5.5k€ 😀

Here is mine for reference of what it should look like.

Thenbracelet may be correct but I cannot tell for certain from the photos. For that price you have financial room to make it better. The rubber pushers are sometimes available or you could convert to pump style.

Do you know if the crystal has the U logo inscribed?

Does the screw-down crown function properly?

Are the reference # and serial # legible on outside of the caseback?

I should also note that some of the Gen2 Space-Compax came with a red sweep seconds hand like yours (but most I have seen are silver like mine). That looks OK.
