Different, to me, open center finger wheel dial card

My latest 302 (that makes it about just a few less than a gazillion of those in my basement) arrived today. It was a 1940 metal 302 refurbished in 1955 with a new dial and handset. So, it came with a 6A dial dated 1-56. The open center finger wheel had this unusual number card.

Seems someone took a blank center and put the numbers on it in a circle using what seems to be stick on clear backed numbers. Didn't notice that through the acetate window but when I took it apart, one of the numbers had become attached to the acetate pulling off of the paper.

Is this a "frankendailcard" or was this something else? I assume it has no value, or does it?

That card looks familiar, I think I must have  seen it in auction.

Was that the $5 white painted 302?

Ah, yes.....

I am sure the paint artist improved their skills by working on the dial card.

Since it's 7 digits could it be the telephone number of the 302?

Seller is in GA, so may be more likely that the phone was from Atlanta, GA "TRinity" step-by-step central office located on Crescent Ave, also known as "Brookwood." That office served Midtown and Virginia-Highland area.
