Red Sub what else?

Hi Rolex people!
Would a Submariner ever have a case listed as 1665 ? I ran across a Red Sub in the 5.7m range, but the case is engraved REGISTEREDDESIGN1665.

My thinking is this should be a Sea Dweller case.... but it has a Submariner dial. Unless it got recased along the way.

Sea Dweller cases are decidedly different from Sub cases.
