I would say latest repro face.
Bodies have to much wear on them for the glass to look so great. Moisture, cold and condensation effected the reverse painted glass to a greater extent then the metal housings. Doesn't take long for the paint to start flaking/lifting on original clocks if let in a cold and damp environment.

Its good to keep bringing this fake stuff back up to the front Mick! We all need reminders about the junk out there and it doesn't hurt to see it every couple of months.
