Parts Question

I am in the process of "restoring" my Carrera 45 Dato (Landeron 189 mvt)(it's actually in great shape,so this restoration will be very minor). I have been debating about replacing the hour/minute hands, as the luminescence is totally brown, and there appears to be a small scratch on the hour hand. Do the "reissue" Carrera hands (which look identical) fit my Carrera? Or do I need to find a set that is especially for the 45 Dato? I will also need to relace the perforated strap (it is still wearing the original, albeit a bit mangy). So, any advice on the compatibility of replacement hands, and a good parts source for Heuers would be most appreciated! Cheers!

BTW, who makes the movements in the reissues?
