Tudor 2 movements?

Did anyone else notice this? NorthFlag has MT5621 movement whereas Pelagos has MT5612 movement on their website.

NorthFlag movement


Pelagos movement

Maybe just the power reserve indicator?

looks like the same movement to me.
Maybe the additional jewels are part of the power reserve display function and the differences in diameter due to a larger baseplate.

MT 56xx for both leads to a common platform

And here I was under the impression they had the same movement. Great catch. Two fewer jewels in the Pelagos? Very interesting. Both have a calendar complication, too. I wonder why in the world they're different.

This was my suspicion - the extra jewels being for the power reserve indicator.

They have slightly different dimensions as well.
