·Good question. The subdial hands on the 14364-2 (bottom watch) are painted black - the watch came to me that way. I suspect that a prior owner had this modification done to increase readability. I do believe the hand shape is correct for this serial number range, however.
In my observations, it was during this period that Omega transitioned the subdial hands, across multiple references, to the straight, simple indexes.
Having said that, I’m always prepared to be corrected. The only way I learn.
Oh, and the main hands are not interchangeable between these watches. All the hands probably transitioned at the same time, with the dial change.
EDIT: Here’s that transition in Speedmasters:
