Thanks, all. As to the Day Night dial I sent in, it seems to me that there was a later version with a calibrated chapter ring, such as the one I sent in. The link C Hurt sent is to a model that I believe to predate mine; but I await further information from those who know more about the sequence of events. Most of the Day Nights I've found are like C Hurt's, but there are a fair few around like mine (teardrop window cut-outs versus rectangular, etc), which suggests, but doesn't in any way prove, that there existed two variant models, just as there are around 4 variations on the AIrflight dial.

BTW, a quite nice looking Airflight has just popped up on the Bay: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/281128084262?_trksid=p5197.c0.m619 - the later configuration with the revolving bezel ring, etc. But no purple to be seen...
