Late 60's Automatic with not the expected movement

Ebay item 121073848071.

It has the same as the early SST's, but the dial on those usually says SST where this one says Zodiac. This dial arrangement is identical to mine, but mine has a cal. 86 high-beat movement in it (AS1688 base), while this one has a cal. 81 (AS1916) movement.

I've seen this same dial marked these two ways, and I've also seen them in two different cases, including this dress case and also in the 70's cushion case.

The price on this one seems...high. I paid about a third of this for mine a month ago, and mine has what I consider to be a more desirable movement. But it makes me wonder if the movement in mine is original, or if there has been lots of mixing and matching with the late-60's Zodiacs. Maybe they just had stocks of movements, dials, and cases, and weren't too particularly about which went with what.
