That's a theory I haven't yet heard Jim, but at this point it's about as plausible as any of them.

I wonder if in the process of building the new parts, they will bother knocking the flash off the castings?

This brings to mind something from Pappy Boyingtons Autobiography. After capture, he and some other pilots were carried from an Island to the Japanese mainland in a plane that he said was an ABSOLUTE knockoff of a DC3. He was educated as an aeronautical engineer, and very much into aircraft beyond merely flying them. He said that every construction detail was so identical he thought that it was a captured DC3, but somehow determined that it was a Japanese built aircraft.
