I'm not all that comfortable with the bold script of the Heuer badge or the Carrera text but one of the most telling signals that this may be a re-dial in the fact that the registers are NOT the same colour as the dial script. If you look at the photo table for the earlier cal.11 dialed Carrera's http://www.onthedash.com/Guide/_Chronographs/63.Carrera/e.Automatic_Early/b.Ref_1153/
all the 3,6,9,12 dials have the same colour register as script with the exception of the prototype sandstone dial. This fact alone makes me question the authenticity of the ebay dial.

: Refinished dial? Rare execution? What is it?
