Yukon Ty would be Yukon Territory (Canada), before Alaska became a US state in 1959 afterwards they switched to Juneau
No significant cities up there in the NW ... even now Whitehorse, The Yukon capital is only 40,000 or so, and Juneau, AK is roughly the same but its land area is larger than states of Rhode Island and Delaware.

Exactly, my friend. Some fifteen years ago, these dal variations gave me some pain to understand and know them.
Yes, took me several nights to figure that out!
Lucky with the internet, it has become easier. Imagine those days without the internet and proper books…
Several weeks for me. I remember I fell on two different dials ( steel version ) and I doubted. It took me two weeks to understand that both were correct. And it was too late, both watches were sold.
