The dial isn’t substituted, but repainted. If a dial got damage (from water or radium burn) it was normal to do a redial. They removed the paint from the (brass?) dial and used stamps to get it spickandspan again. Sometimes the redialer didnt have the correct templates… and/or he worked from memory.

Maybe a watchmaker or jeweler can open the back for you. A picture from the movement and inside case back would be helpful for identifying it.

There are Anti-magnetic Gruen watches, but that was marked on the caseback. See for example : https://www.ebay.ph/itm/VINTAGE-GRUEN-CHOCK-RESISTANAND-WATE R-ANTI-MAGNETIC-AUTOMATIC-17J-MADE-IN-SWISS/143857200339
