Early in my points-chase (mostly as a C4 guy) I was teamed with a high-point judge. We got to the battery and he said "Service Replacement. Standard Deduction." I responded "You better take another look. You'll make the owner cry if you call his born-with battery a Service Replacement." I'd already looked at the battery, and it had caught my eye because it didn't appear to be a typical Service Replacement, so I looked closer, and deduced that it was the born-with. I later chatted with the owner. He had done what you did, install a smaller battery inside the case.
As well you know, the experience of a judge and his powers of observation regarding what he's looking at mean more than having "seen one before".
