Parts have tolerances; wouldn't a true clone be identical circuit, original appearance and materials, and NOS parts, whereby on a location-by-location basis, each part in the circuit measures the same value as the part Dumble used in that particular location?
But if it isn't an RN60 resistor from the cold war surplus era, then it can't be identical.

Besides, we have the consideration of intent. These were bespoke items, rendered in electronic components, with intent and purpose, which we really don't know what was going through his mind.

Just be happy with "copy" or "authorized copy and trademark". That's plenty good.
