Hi Chris, though no Autavia expert I think I can answer for the 1st question: the original dial used to have lume pips at 3, 6 and 9 but with time they tend to fall off. That's way in some that miss them you will notice a kind of lume shade anyway.
So the dials w/o lume dots may or may not be incorrect, the lack of lume isn't the telltale. Mostly they are correct though, simply less good than the ones that have retained the lume dots.
Cheers,
Fabrizio
