Which Mk Bezel Insert?

Could someone please tell me if this is a Mk 3 bezel insert? I have a bitch of a time telling them apart. The 50 looks fat, but some of the other numbers don't look so fat... Thanks!

That would be my opinion too. The hole for the pearl is way too large for the earlier 1680/5513 inserts.

It’s from a registered VRF member and listed as 1680/5513. He must just be mistaken.
