It's aq real JLC movement. The dial has been refinished to look like a British Military WWWW, which this watch is not. There is a chance the back is not JLC, whatever markings on the case back are fake too.

Stay away from this watch unless you want to use the movement for parts.

Bellissimo :-)
Can you tell what kind of caliber movement it is? Like you said. Pretty much a parts watch if you need to repair a real JLC with that kind of movement.

The movement is from the 449 family.

But has there ever been a dial like that - on a real JLC military issue ?

No, there is no such dial on a JLC military.
