It's difficult to account for the anlges the pics were taken at. But the two sub dials look about the same to me. If you draw a line from the 22.5 through the 45 and up to the outer track, they appear to hit at the same place....

The second runner chapter ring also seems to be off center. The 45 is less obfuscated that the 15 ...

It is not just the differences. That square font is very unusual. I have not seen a font like that on any UG dials.

The numbering on the seconds counter is also different in its orientation. Not sure which is or isn't "common" on these...

There are some raised indices that come close, not that square. Never say never though with UG, especially in the very thin Uni section in Sala.
Uni seems to follow different style rules than Tri Compax. It sure looks natural and do the other indices and the printing. That said can't get past the apparent minute counter alignment, much greater than in Ben's example.

A plausible scenario IMO
