Digging deep in the 009/004 history

Ok, I understand there are basically, three versions of both watches one pre a dial ( very much like pre vendome), the sausage dial with tritium and with luminova.

the B series was mixed on the nines my question is is the case reference 6502 or 6521 for t dials or both?

thank you experts this is down the rabbit hole a lil bit but this is my jam.

My T dial is a 6502 case. Google search didn't bring up a lot, but any 6502 was T and 6521 was L. Too many rep watches in the mix

I have a high case number close to the 1500 mark with a T dial, but not sure how Panerai decided to stamp the cases. Must have been confusing stamping the series numbers at different times to correspond with the dials rather than stamp half the 6502 cases first and others after.

I read the article from Perez that explains that it’s unlikely a t dial will have a 6521 …… I have a “b” series t dial in 1400 of 1500 range .... this is a grail for me! My understanding is the height numbers for "b" are t dials .... sounds like they started backwards I have an L dial 004 that's around 2100 of. 3000.
