Well, there were two other six-engined flying boats developed in competition with it (!), the Sud-Est Amphitrite and the Potez-CAMS 161, which seem to have been even more unlikely to end up in a Canadian lake. It seems a peculiarly specific identification, given the description of what was found. I guess the six engines would be a reasonably decisive clue, but there's no mention of that.
