I agree, although my knowledge isn't huge in this area.
I'd say it was more non-Heuer parts than a franken Heuer. I couldn't be certain that any part of that watch has ever been anywhere near Heuer.
Some very early Heuers didn't have signed movements - pre 1939ish, that's why the fraken-makers from Eastern Europe can have a field day.
The Heuer shield doesn't match that of being from pre-1940's, it looks like it is a replication of a more modern Heuer.
Personally, I've never seen a Heuer with the military 'broad arrow' emblem.
Fliegers from around the mid 1930s can be seen here: http://www.onthedash.com/Guide/_Chronographs/1935.Flieger_Chronographs/
Here are some 1940s examples: http://www.onthedash.com/Guide/_Chronographs/1940s_Chronographs/
