Why does any of this this matter?
It matters because the owners of the airplanes involved have made quite a big deal about that particular airframe's combat history.
So has something necessarily nefarious occurred, or is this a matter of two different countries having different ways of recognizing and registering aircraft?
If the UK allows adaopting the serial number of a major component as an identification of the restored/rebuilt airframe (do they?), and the US registration also recognized that serial number as belonging to another aircraft, now that both aircraft are in the USA I guess that either the FAA or a court action needs to make the call. I think the FAA typically defers to the courts in these matters when they are challenged.
