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.
