Speed control dial versions?

Speed control dial versions?
Have there been different versions of the speed control dial on the Mark 5 machines?
I found a Mark 5 with what looks to be a steel control dial. Instead of letters, it has numbers to indicate speed. It is on a Magna casting.
Will add pictures this afternoon.

Never seen one like that before. Maybe from a clone?

- 1985 Mark V 510 with reversible motor, bandsaw, jointer, and double-tilt.

Can you get a closer picture of the speed dial? Could it be hand made?

More than the speed control dial is 'different'.
The belt cover and vent plate are from an early greenie("A" headstock).
The top of the headstock looks like an "A" casting.
The area under the power switch 'location' appears to have the push plate(with pointer).
The quill lock bushing is outside, it belongs inside(end only sees the outside).
The rest appears gray. Maybe repainted or not.
The main table is Greenie vintage.
I must raise the ?, what is inside the headstock. Maybe SS stuff, maybe something else(considering the knob etc.).
The quill lock wing nut is not apparent.
Where are the speed markings?
