An unscrupulous seller (who is able to swap them out) trying to make a quick profit. As we have seen, the LV inserts and Maxi dial/hands command a premium compared to their LN counterparts. So they simply buy new LN parts install and sell the LV parts separate. Just a guess though.
After you do source them, I would definitely have an independent watchmaker install them and then have RSC do a full service. This way you will receive new "papers" showing that it is a true LV. Keep us updated, and Good Luck!!
