Did you buy it, given it is showing as sold?

I can't answer your question in afraid but I am intrigued to see if anyone else can and does because I've been wondering if anyone here has a side interest in vintage Seikos...

I think the only decent vintage Seiko I have is this 4006-6031 Bell-matic. And finding many parts for it is a PITA.

That is a nice seiko.

So, the hands and dial appear to be original.

Now to see if Abell Watchmakers can get it running

Look at any re lumed vintage Speedmaster.

Professionally done "tinted lume" or backyard deception done AKA " coffee lume "

Never heard of tinted lume?

In addition to tints added by someone doing the lume job with tea or some other colouring agent, they are actually made this way by the lume manufacturers. As you can see from this chart, the various colours will have different intensities:
