Index Mobile at Antiquorum Auction, Nov. 15 and 16, Lot 39

The senior officers at Antiquorum are being very cooperative in seeking to determine the authenticity of this Index Mobile chronograph, to be auctioned November 15th. They have called me to discuss the watch, and also sent some additional photos.

Shown below are two additional photos of the markings on the bridge. These markings look authentic to me. What do the experts think of this "evidence"? Does this help establish the authenticity of this watch, or could these markings have been "faked" by someone other than Heuer (or Dubey, the firm that actually produced all these Index Mobile chronos)?

Thanks for any thoughts on the subject, and many thanks to Antiquorum, for taking this matter so seriously.
