If you'll note they stamped in a reinforcing area (the raised section of the new piece). It is easier to start with a mass produced piece and make the "cut" and "weld" than to start from scratch. Anyhow, it's a very well executed job.
From having stripped it I can tell you that it is well thought out and nicely welded.
