They still could have reprogrammed your old one back into the car. they don't need any data off the old ECU.
Think about it the ECU is damaged and they can't talk to it they can't get any data off the ECU but the car needs a new ECU they need to program that without having any data.
Now what the data contains is really only information about oil life, DPF, injector settings immobilizer etc etc etc.
All these need to be put into the system, so you have learn them all again and carry out other bits.
