I'm thinking that often, in case of multi-national developing efforts, the origin may depend much to "who do you ask"
About the Albea, I think too it was listed as Brazilian origin because of the Siena. I believe Turkish origin would be more appropriate indeed, since from that point Siena and Albea followed different paths, facelifts etc. and the Albea is stretched. In this case, made for TR should be removed where present.
I'm not convinced about the other models, especially the vans. I believe there was a collaboration between all the R&D centers rather than a lonely design effort by Tofas. It's not like the Palio or recent Brazilian models IMHO which have virtually no imput from other R&D centers
I believe a similar question could anyway be raised also for other TR-built and partially developed (?) cars like the Renault Symbol
