Technically not Grumman. The original Grumman version is F4F. The FM series was license-built by Martin. This is also the difference between the TBF Avenger and the "Grumman" TBM, which was also built by Martin.

Not your fault, but that of the guy who posted the video.

That's kind of like how the F4U Corsair was originally built by Chance Vought but there where others built by Goodyear and Brewster.
