My collection of ads shows the Curvex Portrait starting September 1950 and ending June 1953. Mike is perfectly correct, all nine ads are showing the watch with the faceted crystal.
Unfortunately I can't confirm with one of my watches as my collection has a gap between the styles #487 and #507, but I have again checked the ad with the names given by Mike. Neither the Captain nor the Centurion or Companion seem to have been advertised with a faceted crystal. So it is pretty much likely that the style number "only" specifies the footprint of the crystal, not the exact crystal itself. That was new to me...
