In the absence of anyone with subscription providing a précis the auction listing in link above does have a few comments regarding the reported legal case and recent outcome:

“Upon completion of its Martini Porsche works team season, 'R7' was sold to Mexican Porsche exponent Hector Rebaque for use in national racing back home. After competing successfully there in 'Viceroy' cigarette-brand colours, it was sold into the discreet long-term ownership of Italian enthusiast collector Massimo Baliva. In part due to the car's disappearance from the scene – Baliva essentially keeping his stewardship of the car very much to himself – some elements within the classic Porsche world assumed its destruction. As, is often the case a replica was constructed and when Massimo Baliva's car emerged from obscurity (he was selling his collection due to his advanced age) litigation ensued. The case was ordered dismissed and the case settled, with the replica car being acknowledged as such.

The present car offered by Bonhams|Cars' authenticity had been confirmed by legendary Porsche engineer Norbert Singer (1973 Martini Porsche team manager) whose forensically detailed examination proved it indeed to be the original 1973 RSR team car 'R7'.”

A write up from Goodwood fos related to the (above) car that will be for sale at Goodwood revival

The Bonhams site provides the answers re: litigation that I had been looking for.
Copied straight from the Bonhams 'for sale' write-up:

"Subsequently another well-known Porsche-world figure found a purchaser for the car - the current vendor - in the USA. With the re-emergence there of this perfectly genuine ex-Martini Racing/Brumos/Rebaque/Balliva 'R7' - the owner of the supposedly reconstructed 'parts-based'' vehicle then initiated litigation to bolster his rival claim to this car's historic identity. This litigation was vigorously resisted, yet ground on for some seven years until May 23 this year when the case was ordered dismissed by a New York court, following a settlement. As part of that settlement the replica owner was permitted to keep his car but agreed to make no further claim to ownership of 'R7' - while continuing to represent his vehicle as "...a reconstruction of the long tail RSR, currently presented in Viceroy livery raced by the Rebaque Rojas team..." - only.

As part of the background to this litigation - to establish authenticity, as far back as April, 2016, 'R7' as offered here had been transported to Porsche Classic in Germany where it was inspected by the manufacturer's veteran senior engineer and former works team manager, Norbert Singer.

He had supervised construction and preparation of the factory's Martini Racing RSRs in 1973, so was uniquely placed to comment on the cars' originality. After a full day of careful examination, covering every part of this car, Mr Singer positively identified it as RSR 911 '360 0686' (aka 'R7') and provided a formal statement to that effect, comprehensively confirming this body shell's historic identity."
