Someone in the HN thread linked to a reddit thread where an ex Apple tech claimed this issue could happen with even just changing the serial number of the screen. He also claims to run a repair shop now.

Of course this is like 5 levels removed from a source so pile of salt.

I don’t think the serial or any of that matters. What matters would be the calibration. Even if it was an original Apple screen, it would still need to be recalibrated when moved to a new device.
