What dial is this?

I'm thinking about buying one of these phones, both of which are Western Electrics from the '40s, but I don't recognize the dial on them, and I can't seem to find a mention of it anywhere else. Here are the pictures:

They both look like Stromberg Carlson dials.

I agree with Larry...

That's what they remound me of as well, with the 0 at the 6 o'clock and all. I have to wonder about the story behind how each one became fitted with such. The black one I'm looking at needs a lot of work and some shell repair. I don't really care much for the blue one.

The Blue on appears to be metal, it can be stripped and painted any color you desire
The fingerwheel on the Black one does not line up properly with the numbers, maybe the crrect dial with the incorrect fingerwheel on it

or a stuck dial

If it is a Stromberg-Carlson dial (and I think it is)  then it probably is stuck. Most of the SC dials I have are garbage compared to WE & AE dials.
