Quite a few later dual standard sets had VHF on a dial & UHF channels were selected with push buttons, though some earlier ones were the other way round.

Yes..Some sets made prior to the BBC2 launch were '625 line ready' and had retrofit kits available to the dealer to install UHF/625 lines. The VHF dial was a clunky clicker, while the UHF dial was more like a radio dial in which you spun it until you could tune in a picture and also a 405/625 big button to push. After 64 all sets would be dual standard until around 70 and set makers were glad to see the back of them (time,money etc). Colour sets from 67 had for the majority done away with dials altogether and had the more familiar today selector knobs for each station. You're right. From what I remember the new dial was plastic with numbers on it a bit like a glass saucer but smaller.
