16753 GMT Master TT Root Beer Nipple Dial Question

I am looking at a 16753 Root Beer Nipple dial GMT Master.What is throwing me off is the Dial is marked "SWISS-T<25" under the 6 o'clock marker.I am thinking the Watch is actually a 1675 that is mis marked as a 16753?

My 16753 has the same markings circa 1986

The couple of "root beer" nipple dials I've had on my 1675s were marked T SWISS T. The 16753 black nipple dial I had was also marked T Swiss T.

From my experience, the SWISS T <25 was only found on the 16753 brown or black two-tone, or solid gold non-nipple dials.
