A320 - Speed after Acc Alt

Hi everyone,

On two separate occasions, I have experienced a situation whereby the speed is automatically selected after Acc Alt, where the FMGS mode changes from SRS to CLB mode. Both departures we had our standard 800/800 in the FMGS for Thr Red and Acc Alt; and as soon as the FMGS changes to CLB mode, the speed was automatically selected in the speed window at 172 and 167 on the 2 respective departures. I can't recall however, if these speeds were the exact target speeds during SRS.

I should add as well, that we had pre-selected green dot speed for both departures on the CLB page during the FMGS preparation; and we expected to see that pre-selected speed as target speed as we go into CLB but it 172 and 167 came up on those 2 departures.

I can't find any explanation for this, but I'm still very new on this machine so pardon me and I appreciate any ideas!
