Yes good point. That would be super obvious that they stole it then.. "yea, could I order the BA33525 part that you custom built for somebody else.. yea I know its undocumented, but I know you have it somehow...."

You do that sort of thing all the time though with electronics:
I'll open it up, and find some undocumented chip variant and see if I can source it elsewhere, I'll also search+email around to see if I can find a datasheet anywhere.
If it's not printed on the chip you'll probably be able to get it out of JTAG.

Sure, when you have physical access to the device, which wouldn't seem to apply at all here.
