Probably Bulova, post WWII ,using up excess stock movements. Jewellers and watchmakers often recased movements and dials as well. This is without any doubt a Bulova provided re-case as the minute/seconds register does not show completely. I'd bet some jeweller or watch maker recased this movement and dial in a similar but smaller Bulova case. I'd start looking for the proper military issue case and make it right again. These cases are not identicle to the military cases, the bezel and crystal are too small to fully display the dial and the lugs are not even close to a military case.
I think Jerin calls this a Franken bully, I call it as a recased military.
