The whole question of what CMPicon does to guns has been debated before. The saddest story involves about 40 late HRAs that appeared nearly new but had a couple of SA parts on them. Although research proved that these parts were correct, all 40 were returned to have HRA parts substituted. CMP complied because it wants to keep customers happy. IMHO, a CMP certificate is only proof that CMP sold the gun, whatever else is written on it is uncertain.
