The replica mentioned was a replica of the #59 LeMans winner that was built using another GTR chassis for the Brunei Royal Family. The only known photo of it is on the first page, but I will copy it here.
The car was apparently completed for the BRF by McLaren because they wanted to buy the original and McLaren Cars were not interested in selling it.

Given the value of the car, I wouldn't think that AMG would make any permanent changes to it that would affect their ability to resell it once their development work was completed. It's almost shocking that they would spend the kind of money one assumes would be necessary for a development car like an F1 GTR, but seeing how they probably knew they could recoup the investment it's not so bad.
