1665 DRSD Dial, real or fake?

Hi, can anyone help me re a DRSD dial. A local guy is offering me two 1665 dials, one is a DRSD dial and other other is a rail dial. The rail dial is real but I'm skeptical about the DRSD dial. Does this DRSD dial look real? I've highlighted the back of the dial in red where it seems to say "SINGER" and then a single digit number below it. The last two pics below are of the rail dial.













1665 great white, rail dial...





Thanks in advance for any help.
Cheers,
Don.

DRSD dial is not original, Singer dial is a MK2 DRSD, The F from ft on a mk 2 is never cursive,
Also the red writing font is wrong

Italic font on ft and metres I believe only appeared on the luminova service dials. Never on Tritoum AFAIK.

The rail looks legit....but if he has a fake drsd dial that’s a red flag
