This is indeed a record pulled from the DORIS Municipal Archives Index of marriage records. The certificate number "appears" to be #3364. It's entirely possible, that the IGG/GGG volunteers missed the record. https://familysearch.org/search/catalog/399474?availability=Family%20History%20Library You have three choices: 1) visit/write DORIS for a search for this record (giving the month and year, or just the year), or 2) rent the above film and see what information it has, and perhaps confirm my suspicion of the certificate number, which would make ordering the certificate easier. The two entries, are likely where a person came along and submitted a correction to the LDS Library folks. I've done the same thing, with my great-grandmother's NYC marriage record in 1897. Although, they've never corrected it and it still only comes up under the nonsense name "Philyuna", rather than "Philapena" (German handschrift signature, meaning one of her parents taught her to write - both German immigrants, or a German-American school). I could have asked her, had my parents not hidden the fact I had a living gr-grandmother as a child. Alternatively, you can run with my deduction and order Manhattan certificate 3364 for 1887. I get that number from the reference number recorded by the transcriptionist for the FHL. In my gr-grandmother's case it is indeed the Certificate #. But, I offer no guarantee I am correct. Option number 1 is a solid choice. > Wednesday night while searching on FamilySearch.org I stumbled on the > following two references.

Thanks, Brian; you're posts are especially helpful. For clarification purposes, the NYC Municipal Archives is one branch of "DORIS"= Department of Records and Informational Services. Thus, the term DORIS is not exclusive to the NYC Municipal Archives.
