Why would they swap drives? There's no economic incentive to do so;
there's not enough involved to make it worth their while.

He said his 80G was an upgrade. Perhaps they assumed it was a "standard"
model and replaced it with what they thought that model had? ..or perhaps
they just had a 40G handy and didn't check?

While possible, IMO it's highly improbable.
These places like to make money. If they need to change a drive to
check what will work, they usually charge for it.
On top of that, there's no reason to do a copy from one drive to
another to check the drive; just install the new drive, and see what
happens. Doing a copy takes time that's not needed if you're not
charging to change the drive.
If they were assuming the original was a "standard" drive, why did
they replace it without charging for the replacement? Even if it was a
warranty replacement, they would charge for the copying.
