Hmm. I can’t even tell that this is not the same physical iPad. The entire identity of the device is a state restored from a backup plus a few hardware identifier numbers. Without identifying exterior scratches/dents, hardware instances are indistinguishable. Hardware is bosons.

My ipad pro (2015) had a borked battery, and apple replaced the device for the price of the battery $99... do they actually fix/refurbish the ones they take in and use them to replace other broken ipads etc? Is there a whole refurbishment factory in the background somewhere?
