That may be true, but parts from vendors often work on multiple vehicles. My 911 electric seat connectors have Mercedes logo right on them as they are right from a Mercedes parts bin. If a part is already made and available why engineer a new and more expensive part from scratch. My car has many 928 parts as well.
If the drive gears for internal engine parts and a snap ring work, why have a new part made?
The crank sensors for my 911 are from a BMW. Way cheaper than the Porsche part and the only difference is the leads are a little longer. It is just parts from a supplier that work. My car also has some identical parts to a 959, so it has DNA of the 959!
