It seems reasonable to me that if you’ve bought identical parts from Small Parts, it shouldn’t matter if they are the actual ones on your robot. However, I don’t think FIRST would agree. From Team Update 5:

Q74. Are we allowed to buy parts which are in the Small Parts catalog from another store and write them in at the Small Parts price toward the $1200 spending limit? Is it required that they be genuine Small Parts parts?

A74. We expect teams to purchase parts listed in the Small Parts catalog from Small Parts. The reason for using the catalog is to provide all teams with equal access to certain parts in terms of both selection and lead time.

With the recent ruling on fasteners, this is even more cumbersome.
