Notre Dame post-fire reconstruction has a similar issue. Some of the stonework, i.e. the naves, needs work. According to PBS Nova geologists & architects located the old quarries for different stone around metro Paris.

Notre-Dame never made it to ruins, though. It is a building that was still in use and still has a function to fulfil. And the people rebuilding it have a good idea of how it was before.

It’s quite different from patching up however we can something that was left to rot for centuries.
