I used to use a pair of long nosed pliers , inserting the ‘ noses ‘ into the two slots in the bezel and rotating it gently . Maybe not the correct tool —— but it worked for me

That's a common type of fitting of the era, not just on cars but even on aircraft.
The original tool would have been a fine wide flat blade screwdriver with a slot machined in it.
A bit like this:

But a set of fine long nose pliers woks pretty well

Hi,
Same bezel removing set as above but cheaper than Moss.
Best wishes,
Mike.

I used to use the end of a steel ruler.
