Help identifying this confusing razor

so I recently got into wet shaving and my grandfather gave me an old razor of his that he has had for at least the past 40 years, probably more, and I am very confused by it.
It has the head Hoffritz slant bar but the handle looks like it was taken off of a Merkur 985 travel razor. The leather pouch looks like the one curently sold with the 985 but the button is different.

if anyone has any info as to if Hoffritz ever sold a razor like this that would be helpful.

Thank you.
 
I have seen several slanted Hoffritz travel razors in the same silver box as shown below (not my image), the only thing I have not seen is the pouch.
ugh I literally googled a variation of "Hoffritz slant bar travel razor" 5 times and got no images that matched. Now when I do it, full of matches. I hate google sometimes.

The pouch had been throwing me for a loop, My grandfather doesn't remember it ever having a metal case. He did say he vaguely remembers a larger brown leather case.
