The registry does not mention anything along the lines of Dugly's theory, but it does say that Kirkham originally dealt with a company called Geppard that failed and was taken over by a company called ZKA that was having problems too.

Of course Shelby claimed to own the 427 Cobra tooling instead of AC, but Shelby never bought AC. But the Kirkhams eventually bought out the Polish factory.
You're right, I really didn't think about a theory or that the Polish factory sold Cobras that weren't Kirkhams and that landed here in North America. Of course, there's zero evidence to prove that theory and that also would make the OP's Cobra a Unicorn and not a Kirkham.
