Regarding the dial, there were many different versions. Some had lume, others not. Just different. Yours is a not Lumed variant. No worries. Hands look to be original too.

Yes the pusher button is incorrect but if it functions please grab some photos as the hobby could sure use a valid replacement work around !

That bezel looks all wrong. Something that fits I guess. There are excellent reproduction bezels now. Check eBay. Seller is in France I believe.
 
So great to learn a bit more about these 45999s. I've had a few and my pristine silver dial is waiting for it's Presage reissue brother to join him but that's another chapter for another day. Today let's talk about that bezel!

Doing a quick internet search I see a few with the bezel you show as the replacement. I now understand that was used for some models.

I have not yet gotten accustomed to the look but I must say seems an authentic choice.
 
Doing a quick internet search I see the 5717-8980 with the bezel you say was a replacement. I now understand that was used for those models.

I have not yet gotten accustomed to the look but I must say yours looks like a perfect specimen NOS bezel.
