You are overthinking it...

Looks like a pretty straight forward Mark V dial. The printing looks a bit heavy on this one, but that's just a natural variation in quality...
HQM sale? Probably safe... |

service insert and service pearl. Dial seems generally OK other than the 5 marker.

How about those other marks on the dial, especially around the 11 o'clock marker, or are those on the crystal?
Not sure about the case. I'd need to see photos of the sides, but the crown guards look polished down a little. |

3 mill serial Mark 5 1971 , the sticky on the Red sub post that i copied & pasted here for you seems to say it's not real,it has all the chariteristics that the bogus sample dial on the left has, as far as alignment issues.

That's a legit MkV. Dial is period correct. Def over thinking it. Insert is a later service replacement.

So it seems that MKV dials are a little different
