Well, personally I am opposed to placing "=" sign between cars fully produced on license by quite independent companies and cars made abroad, but still by their "mother" companies (let alone CKD/SKD assembly).
I see notable difference between Fiats made today in Poland by the Italian FIAT and cars made in the past on FIAT license, but under own make and by the state factories. It is not the same.
Such manufacturers (despite some license agreement limits) are more free in making modifications on their own. There is also the whole way in matching the technical documentation to the local specifications. Sometimes you need to design some elements again.

I also do not like idea that, for example, Dacia sedan will have French origin, but Dacia pick-up Romanian. Same with notable facelifts, before it will be origin "x" and after origin "y". Who will judge is car modified enough to change origin?
1980s Avias looked ~same like 1960s Saviem, but meanwhile it was enough time to make original changes underneath.

We also have notable collection of cars desgined in country A for production in country B, like Zastava 101, prepared in Italy, then developed in Yugoslavia - their ultra stereotypic national car.


The antp's "double origin", not sure if is very necessary honestly, but maybe will be a good compromise.
