Reverend,
I don't think anyone knows for certain, scenerios include an actual production Date stamp for the part then an additional stamp as to when the Movement was completed (or cased) or possibly the Movement did not 'pass' first time around and was factory reworked / rebuilt.
Notice the earlier stamp appears much cleaner than the second. One is machine stamped and the other hand struck.
The possibility of the Dial / Movement being a swap exists.
