well, according to all the documentation we have, the ref. 2009 should be a Top Time and marked as such;
this "Sprint" dial belongs to the ref. 2010 - but it isn't the first decent looking Sprint-branded dial I see in a
TT case, so hesitant to call it - especially as the ref. 2010 afaik was not available in GP and this dial clearly
was produced for a GP or 18k piece ?

here's the piece, 1967 TT 2009-33:

Yeah, it's an odd one. Shouldn't the reference be 2009 CR as well rather than 33 (for 7733 presumably???) or am I just getting old and suffering from memory fade?
