The second picture is a Landeron movement. The first picture does in fact look like a valjoux 7733

I think that's okay. There's always a lot of small dial variations with obscure vintage chronographs like these LeJours.

The only things I notice are that 1) the lume is missing from the chrono sweep hand and 2) the pushers have been replaced recently. Can't really see the crown, but there's a decent chance that that's been replaced as well.

The Valjoux 7733 is a more desirable movement than the Landeron.

Looks more like a nivada/croton chrono than a poor man's autavia, may be good to compare to a few of those to see if there is any acceptable variation in crowns and pushers...
