a parallel allegorical anecdote:

renault (french) sells dacia (romanian) autos and owns the company, and they use the same 1500cc dci turbo-diesel engine in the renault and dacia. oddly the same engine is also used in some other well known brand of cars from other nations...

is my dacia stepway lauriate 1.5 litre dci french or romanian? or as they are now part of europe, is it just european? it's right hand drive, meets the british regulations, not the european union ones, so is it british?

Jim, when it comes to cars at least it is the body that counts so you definately have a Ford.

That's what I would think, but weird things happen. I once had a '63 Buick Riviera (wish I still had it!) and it was the first year of this model Buick Riviera. It apparently was ordered new in 1962, and was one of the first group made.......and on the registration it was called a 1962 Riviera.
There was no such animal.......and really no issues...but see what I mean?
There will always be someone who has to split hairs.
