Got this Jaeger LeCoultre which got an unsigned movement. Is it a JLC movement, a movement from another manufacturer used by JLC or the wrong movement in a JLC case?

The dial:
Dial

I cannot manage to upload more pictures in one post so more photos in posts below:

That movement would not belong in that case, it's from another cheaper watch, assuming the case and dial are JLC that is.

To my knowledge, all the JLC movements are signed even including the "Club" line which did not use in-house movements. Even the chronographs which use Valjoux and U.G. movement are signed Jaeger or LeCoultre on the bridge in the vast majority of the cases.
