I believe there are some decidedly non-standard Tucanos for sale somewhere; non standard because they weren't built by Embraer.
That happened a lot to Helio Couriers during the 1960/1970s. The CIA et al built lots of unattributable airframes from spare parts.

.....At about this time General Aircraft decided to take legal action against the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) on the grounds that they had brought about the company's financial downfall through a scheme to manufacture copies of the Courier without Helio's permission. It seems probable that a significant number of other aircraft were built from spare parts and through the engineering resources of the CIA-sponsored Air Asia.....
