Took out my original M-422A for the first time.
It was identified with help from forum members as an Ostermann :)

It blows my mind that it also fits me!

Nice! I think I know this jacket. If so, I ran across it on eBay back in June and was discussing it with Jan. It's missing the label, has a punched windflap, with a 50's era Talon zip installed, right?

It is!
I believed it was indeed an Osterman when I bough it then the details you mentioned were making me doubt it as I received it.
As you can see in the dedicated thread, it was positively identified by @ZuZu as an original Ostermann!
Even if the lining, zipper and fur collar (I believe) were probably replaced with parts from a 1950s G-1
