It couldn't be North American given the "MN" on the '6' and the 'O' on the '0'.  Did any British (or possibly Commonwealth country) dials have "Operator" on the '0'?

Not sure a photo of the back or telephone might help  .Has N American plate. Looks like it might be a modified # 10 British dial but more like the Danish clone which had extra holes and the finger stop could get moved .

Added photo above. Unfortunately I have no better photo of the dial.  :(

This photo shows a (drilled?) hole near fingerstop.

Re commonwealth dials, I can find no images showing letters that match.

I think rdelius may be on the right track...

If the '6' has the letters "MN" and not "MNO", then it wouldn't be a North American dial.  The British and French dials had "MN" on the '6'.
