This is very easy to solve:

Buy a cheap blacklight/UV flashlight and shine it on your dial/hands in the dark. That will tell you immediately whether you have a tritium or luminova dial/hands. They glow differently.

Under the blacklight, the tritium will light up white-ish and the glow will quickly fade. The luminova will light up greenish and very brightly and stay that way for a while. There is no ambiguity with this test.

For comparison, here's my (former) tritium 14060, also a U serial (U5380XX).
