I have no idea. But, after this thread and seeing them change the rear wing, it triggered the thought... 'Why are they doing that?'
I wonder how often the trick pieces get put on in the middle of the night?

All the "trick" pieces were also checked by scrutineers, along with all spare parts.
Almost all the teams swap bodywork pieces on their cars. Sometimes they changed the rear engine-cover and wing assembly to swap between different downforce settings. Sometimes they changed the front bodywork for brighter headlamps at night, or also different downforce setups.
You're reading too much into this. If you read too much into this and start to write your own fiction, I'll just call you Stephen King from now on.
