That all makes sense and basically agrees with my memory - at the time I saw that ME 262 at Paine, it appears they only had committed to building three, they had parts for two more but no commitments to actually build them.
Looking back on it - had I known there was so much involvement by current and former Boeing employees, I rather wish I'd made the effort to get some inside access (if nothing else to visit their hangar and get a close up look at what was going on).
