Yep Mike, those International meters can easily be opened.  They
are plastic not glass and you can easily replace lens if needed.
First turn the meter over and pick out the rubber around the edges.
It will come out in one piece.  You will see 4 hollow screws at the corners
where the mounting screws go through.  Remove these screws and presto!
the meter seperates from the front.  I did this to repaint my meters.  Very
easy.
I agree, your NOS meter there is quite a nice unit.  Sure woud be nice to
find a
matching pair.
