Yes, I agree that evidence is needed.
I have seen the same gnomon casting used for different dial faces, and
the same dial face with different gnomons. I supposed it could be from
allowing customers to mix-and-match (or even the manufacturer treating
parts as swappable), but on reflection I realize it is equally as likely
to happening in the second-hand market as vendors discard broken or
corroded parts and reassemble 'complete' dials from what's left.
