I bet we fine a white gold/white dial two letter variant for this HE one day. There are soo many His Excellency two letter variants from this period, Plains configuration may be one of them. I'll check examples in watch and ad database, and also look at the Bulova model price lists (the first couple years we have anyway) to see if there's more supporting evidence at least suggesting the white dial/white gold was offered as a variant at POS by Bulova.
Fifth's example is here, but he calls it a Butler Dial.http://www.mybulova.com/watches/1949-his-excellency-777
