Who can help identify this dial

Hi Rolex fans,

I have been offered to buy this dial. It is said to be comming from a 5513 with serial number 5.6 Million, from 78 /79 and argued as beeing a pre-comex dila with SUBMARINER ubder the depth marquing.

The back is bronze colour, has a small "hole" in it half way and very thin engraving SINGER SINGER SINGER.

What woories me is that, after 35 years, the tritium has not taken any patina, the indexes are snow white ( seller pretends that dials from some series in the late 70's will never fade or change color, it is inherant to the paint used). No more lume at all.

Other point is the placement of the =. The bars allign with both the f and t bars, but not centered on the line.

The coronet looks strange to me ( fat and short)

What do you, specialists, think about it ?
