Authentic DJ Dial?

Just saw this pic in a vintage watch seller website. Is there such a Rolex DJ dial design?

original pan pie dial, sunburst pattern, but this one has been refinished and is no good imho, look at the lume plots as new as the day they were painted, (yesterday)

The first one is a refinish they only made vignette in red/black and blue black to my knowledge, there are some fake greens floating around, however, i have never seen another authentic vignette in any other colour than the aforementioned, the second dial looks good, the lume does not look new to me, it looks correctly coloured and aged, just my opinion, nice wide boy dial.

check out the spacing that is incorrect on that first dial, compare photos

How was the spacing in the first dial incorrect? Which should be aligned with what?

Looks like an older Vignette dial that did come in different colors.
