Regarding Aarne-Thompson type: Isn't this a combination of tales? Get me for original research, but:
403C: The Witch Secretly Substitutes her own Daughter for the bride. (see AT 403) The husband throws the witch's daughter under the bridge. From the girl's navel grows a reed in which the witch recognizes her own daughter
Not sure what the last part is though; there are various near-matches with the burning the skin motif, nothing I can find based on false brides:
D721.3. Disenchantment by destroying skin (covering).
425G: False Bride Takes Heroine's Place as she tries to stay awake
432*: Bird Lover Disenchanted
441: Hans my Hedgehog
