the value as readout in the viewfinder is the EV number for ISO 100, (or some may call it LV). The calculating dial is needed to show the user which shutter speed and aperture can be used as well as for a different ISO film speed.

Chris, does the plate really look home made? Pentax made the spotmeters in two versions; the regular one that most of us use and one for movie cameras which is called the Spotmeter V-FL since it has a Foot-Lambert scale.

No, it doesn't look home made. It was manufactured by Redlake, makers of the Hycam II high-speed camera.
I looked at the manual, and it's not the foot-lambert one, it's definitely just a V, but with the shutter speed plate swapped out for this proprietary one.
