Thanks Robert, I appreciate the help. Eric helped me find a parts movement that has the hands on it. However, I do need a second hand for another Seth model 8, but I'm not sure the post size is correct. Eric would know.?

The hour and seconds hand are correct; that "reverse-arrow" second hand is actually for the higher-end watches and is therefore more desirable. The ball-end seconds hand was for the 7-jewel stuff like the Model 8.
The minute hand belongs on something else.

Not sure I ever even saw a watch with the open kite pattern.
Part of what I was trying to determine outside of matching hands to the proper dial is the difference in post size between models. (Interchangeability).

They're all the same, Dave. The canon pinion and hour wheels are the same on the Model 1 right through the Model 13, including the 5 - all except the key-wind Model 4.

There is a third style of medium spade-and-poker hands - a slender, more tapered style reserved exclusively for the Maiden Lane and the legendary double-sunk red/black Gothic Arabic dial:
