The usual 885 is based on the same ebauche from FHF as Gary's movement.
Gruen protected the form of the bridge in May 1925:

FHF protected it's according ebauche(s) in September 1925, one (452) with the "FHF"-design, one (453) as the 885 for Gruen:

/vgforum/index.php?t=getfile&id=6728&private=0

So these are basically the same movemens. As the serial numbers of movement and case date towards 1926 I assume that Gruen accepted a delivery of movements with the "wrong" bridge to fulfill the demand
