That's not all that unusual - the original dealers were plenty willing to swap easily-changed parts around among cars on the sales lot (i.e. hoods, wheels, radios, etc.) to make a sale. (For example - customer wants a particular interior and does/doesn't like dark wheels.) But I sure can't imagine arbitrarily swapping a trans. 10-spline transmissions in late cars are more likely due to using up old parts at the factory, or some prior owner/dealer putting in a used one.
