Re: B-24D 41-11596 - interned in Turkey - replaced by other?

One of the mentioned websites above says that more (all?) Turkish B-24s were refurbished at Gura Air Depot.
It may then also be that another Turkish B-24 that had undergone works was secretly changed into "596". Repair crew at Gura had then more time to finish the original "596".
But then, the real "596" had to get the serial of the fake "596" later on with more people knowing about it...

Since no other references seem to be apparent, a mysterious story.
