If you can shoot some in-focus photos it would help greatly.

Hard to tell from the pics - but the bezel insert looks 80s to me.

Here are better pics, (thanks for the zoom in tip)
Should this be on a 73 sub red, I wonder what exactly Rolex changed at service?

It’s exactly what I would expect to see. It’s a 3.1

Sorry to be thick but you are saying correct bezel for a 1973, 3,685,xxx RED Submariner.

I think he is referring to the insert

What I am referring to are the numbers 40 & 50 are they the correct font therefore bezel for a 3,685,xxx red sub1973 vintage.

Yes, that's the bezel insert - and yes (from the (better) photos) it appears to be one of the 'correct' inserts for a 3.6million Submariner (that isn't necessarily from 1973.)

Hope this helps.

Thanks, and learnt not a bezel but the insert

Correct.
And correct in terms of the insert. There are different bezels too, but that’s a different and less important discussion IMO.
