In this instance, it all seems to be above board.
Not so many years ago, cloning cars for fairly innocent reasons was quite common. I've recently seen one that had carried a clearly impossible identity for at least sixty years and another that has an "identical twin" on the A7CA register - "ours" ended up with an age-unrelated plate, despite plenty of evidence to support its identity.
I think it likely that cars seen at one time as no-hopers, only fit for scrap, were viewed as legitimate identity donors. The problem is that some of them are now emerging from their graves.
