Can ya'll help me figure out what's going on with this VC overseas gen 1?

I've been looking at this watch and discussing buying it. The seller insists it's a VC 42040 37mm. To me, this looks like a 42050/52, the 35mm version. There is no lume plot by 3, which is the tell to me.

But, the seller has sent me pictures with the caseback open and a movement marked 42040 in the watch, and pictures of the watch being measured are inconclusive because the measurements are so close. I'm wondering if there's a chance this is actually a 37mm case. Everything in my body says it's 35, but the engraving on the movement is throwing me off.

Has anyone here ever seen a 37mm without a lume plot at 3? Is the engraving on the movement conclusive? I want to call Vacheron to ask about this, but trying to explain it all without holding the watch feels like an effort in futility dealing with a large corporation.

Pics attached.
