Strange or rare pepsi insert? calling all expert

The back is red alright, but the shape is definitely NOT for a GMT 1675.
Has anyone seen this type?
Anyone owns one like this?

I have never seen a 1675, 16750, 16760, 16710 or 16700 bezel insert that looked like that on the back side.

In short, I have never seen it before on red, blue, black or brown backs.

Thanks J.

I am an old fart and wearing a 1675, but did is the first time that I've seen something like this.

The font looks perfectly fine though... very strange.

The front looks like an authentic insert but I have never seen an insert real or fake with a back like this one. My gut tells me it's real but I can't explain the odd shape of the back.

Same here. Fonts look good, but never have seen a back like that.
