Have I accidentally bought a recast?

So I recently purchased a second hand Dollfie Dream Asakura model from Mandarake- she looks all okay as far as I can tell and came with her original box, eyes, wig and clothing, but her internal system seems to have been replaced with the metal S hook and string mechanism, not the internal vinyl skeleton? I know she’s quite an old release and thus may have been through several owners, but I’m just wondering if it’s possible she’s bee n restructured, or if she really might be a recast and it’s an elaborate scam, box and all?

This is the DDI body. They only had partial internal frames, from the elbows down iirc- nothing was replaced. This is just how she came. They were strung like Super Dollfies aside from that. She's not a recast- Manda of all companies does a good job screening Volks dolls from what I've seen, having bought both resin and vinyl Volks dolls through them. She's just old, on the very first generation dollfie dream body.

Ah thank you! I’m fairly new to the

hobby and didn’t really know where to search. Thanks again~
