Looks like a match to me and in nice condition. The curtain bezel is neat.

Here is another ad that appears to show this case with a plain dial variation, noting different number and sub-dial configuration.

I think general consensus was it was definitely an AA, but likely an unknown variant; as opposed to an "R".

I agree with Bob, as in the record he cites I think we have to drop the "R" and go with:
