What we're seeing in those GIFs is the old Scangraphic SB version of the AG Alts. SB stands for Super Body, which essentially means it's designed for use in small pt sizes. The little cuts in the crotches are "ink traps" which help the shapes stay true when printed small on soaky paper.
The Avant Garde Alts that were just released by E+F and FontShop are based on Scangraphic's SH (Super Headline) design. That means no ink traps.
Enough background yadda. Here are the links:
