Malachite dial

Dear learned friends, is this 16xx series dial aftermarket? It’s been offered to a friend from a hitherto reliable source.

I don’t know about authenticity, but the dial feet do not match a 16xx non quick model.
Would be for a 160xx quickset movement.

It’s certainly a later version as it has ‘swiss’ only on the dial.

As an update the dial has proven to be correct.
