Hi, it sounds like you've done some good research! Everything you point out is correct. The description used by the seller (who I consider to be a very good seller incidentally) was at least in part passed on from the previous seller which I gave to him. If we're nit-picking a couple of points are slightly altered, this is the 2nd highest 73343 serial I have for example, not actually the highest.
You are correct on the orange hand being apparently later in production for the 73443, so there is a little mystery surrounding it. It could well be the situation that Heuer were using up parts during the final phase of Camaro production and happened to grab a leftover 73343 case and fit it out as 73443. We will never know for sure but I am of the opinion this is how it left Heuer. (and is also a very nice condition Camaro!)
Thanks, Steve
