Heuer Autavia - need help

I would like to start that I am not really a Heuer guy, as of right now I only have 3 Heuers. But yesterday I picked up a Autavia for a friend and everyone involved was excited. Well, after doing some research a number of questions came up. I hope this forum can help me resolve some/all of them.

As far as I learned yesterday, what I have is a Viceroy model (1163V), Cal 12, White dial, and hour bezel insert.

1) Can it still be called Jo Siffert model?
2) Why would this model have hour bezel insert with a hole @ 12 (I guess for a tritium dot)?

... and finally - serial on the case is 358,839 -- that's way way way out of any 1163 serial numbers I have ever heard of? Any explanations? (the case is mint).
