I haven't seen the 6RMAS ones IRL to compare but it's possible that the grey dial one is more of a direct imitation of the glossier 62MAS dial. The SLA017 dial is not matte.
(Edit: put the 017 on today and it actually does have a matte finish to the sunburst. Just much less noticeable due to the effect of the domed glass and polished rehaut.)

Yeah funny you say that as I made the same comment on another forum yesterday as a gent was saying he's not fused on the whole matte and textured dials as of late e.g. BB58 and so on. I said the same thing regarding legibility and that you find the finish on many military watches for the same reason to strip it down to the core essentials, minamise reflection / glare to get the job done e.g. proper tool watch.
Was confused because the grey looks more sunburst but the blue looks more subdued.
