My new 1675 + bracelet questions

I have just bought a 1970 1675 that has a 93150 / 580 end link bracelet, however my next task is to get the correct band / end links as it come from the factory. I feel this one deserves it, given I have the boxes and papers.

I don't have my own photos as the watch is not in my possession, but this is it - feel free to share your thoughts / opinions.

I own a lovely 13 link 7836 with 382 fixed and links and I have several questions about this, if anyone might be able to help; 1) was the folded link 7836 the actual correct band for this 1970 GMT? 2) what are the correct end links for this band and watch combination? I have read that 382 is a snug fit for a GMT, however 280 may in fact be the correct links, but I can't confirm this. These end links are affixed to the band, so would need Michael Young (or similar) to remove, and then can I even buy 280's if I need them, and from where?, and 3) the 7836 I have has the correct satin finish on the links, but the outer edges (where you can see the folds) are a highly polished finish, the same as on the sides of the clasp. Should the ends of the links be polished, or matte like the rest of the band?

Thanks in advance.
