Although I am not certain I think this may indeed be true but regardless the co-mingling was very very heavy at one time. As you point out Porsche relied heavily on VW parts. There was a joint parternship for importation, dealerships, and marketing at one time (remember the print in Audi, VW and Porsche ads "VW-Audi + Porsche"). The 924 was actually designed by Porsche with VW input to be built by VW as a VW but when VW decided it was not right for the current market it simply went into produciton as a Porsche. Even today the upcoming Porsche SUV was largely the result of VW design work if I am not mistaken. Although the situation has changed over the last 10 to 20 year at one time these companies operated nearly as one in many respects and must have had some very strong agreements.
