Is a 1949 yellow cased 'Conrad' with silver dial still a Conrad?

 I have a 1949 watch that is the exact design as the Conrad (have both here) but is yellow rgp rather than the rose. It has a silver dial also as opposed to the rose. Does anyone know if this was still called the Conrad?  I have a sneaky suspicion it was named the Director by this point in time but can't remember where I found that.

All the ads for the 'CONRAD' state and show a Rose Case and Dial Gary - one can only assume that any deviation from is not the 'CONRAD'.

Does the Dial have the 'Dots and Dashes' Hour markers?

Hi

No it has gold numbers, black minute track and sub second dial with numbers. Very similar to the Clinton dial. I am 90% sure it is a director but justy cant find the advert or info. Only thing I can find is a crystal referencing the conrad and director as taking the same crystal.

I'd say 'DIRECTOR' also.

 Oh and apologies for the questions. The adverts will not show up on my laptop or pc now so cant go through them. Still cant figure out why. Nothing updated on my laptop that I was aware of but today, it won't work...
