I just found the old American Express commercial with Jim Henson yesterday on YouTube, and watched it several times.

This one is more complete at the beginning, with Floyd's full quick closeup.

While this one is overall a higher quality.
Some observations...
There's a photo of the Season One Miss Piggy to camera-right of the window.
The proto-Strangepork puppet has a 'live hand' to put on his hat.
And I think Scooter and Green Frackle were being performed simultaneously by one puppeteer. Concentrate on them and you can see that they often move in parallel.
