Gmt insert date

hello,

I was wondering if you could help me date this insert for my gmt. I have a no crown guard and looking for the appropriate steel/aluminum insert. Bakelite will wait

Is this a newer insert, service? I can't tell.

Cheers

Ok. Thank you, any previous forums that discuss the insert -Gmt thing in detail.

Blue is service
Red is ? Original?
Then we have font size?
I'm am looking for early 60's thanks for all your help.
