Are the date(esp the week day looks smaller) windows and brand naming correct?

San, you know more than enough about mid 1940s Datoras to find the many errors this one has ?
you happen to own one, you might compare them ?

Am still not good at this but let me try. The Breitling font on the dial is incorrect, the numerals are overlapping the seconds, the date windows seem funny, dial looks like a refinish.

The date/month pushers at the side of the case look strange too.

Then the movement, the bridge marking shouldn't be there. I don't know how to tell the V23C movement but the case movement pic looks very strange and dusty.

Thanks Fred, still perplexed with the case and whats on with the date month pushers, could the case be an original 784 one?
