Dave, the dial is referred to as a Mark 5b which is slightly different than the Mark V GMT 1675 variation.

Also, I'm not sure what type of UV light you used for the photo, but normally the markers and hands have a much whiter glow under UV.

Here are some examples. The first photo is a GMT 16750 tritium dial with relumed hands. The second photo is a GMT with full tritium hands and dial. The third photo is a Mark II matte tritium dial. The fourth photo is a comparison between a relumed GMT dial and a tritium GMT both being examined under the UV light.
