I wasn't even born at this point, but I have read that it wasn't unheard of for dealers to swap in the new gloss dials into old stock since it was the new thing and people love new things. This also can go in the opposite direction when dealers realized that matte dials were hot. Swap in a spare matte dial to a slightly later serial and make some $$$.
