Carrera 1553S, what kind of hands and dials were available

This one's another watch I could consider getting one day if I find a nice one at good price. There's one on the sale on eBay at the moment that seems to be in excellent condition (NOS according to seller). However it does not look like the one listed on this site.

It's basically this model:

The tachymeter ring and hands are different though. The sellers description says that it has white tachymeter ring but in the pictures there's a linear 0-100 ring that might be white or dial color (hard to tell). Also the hands look like they are reverse color compared to the one pictured above. The lume is there but blue/black and silver have been swapped like in 1553N hands.

Was there a model like this produced or have some parts been swapped? Would TAG still supply blue Tachy ring and hands as spare parts?
