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.
