What exactly am I hiding from again?
Don't be ridiculous now.
A quick google search by someone attempting to research the subject of the origin of a peluso capsules finds several hits that indicate this explicitly.
Here are just one example from what one would expect to be a reputable source? If this has changed or is different for the P12 from the 47 I can't find any info about it on the peluso site ( maybe I missed it?)

The mic is supplied in a nice, foam-lined wooden box, along with an elastic spider shockmount (the classic Neumann design). The power supply is modelled to look very similar to vintage units, with a 'hammered', gunmetal-grey paint finish, and vintage-style toggle switches and knobs. Although the mic is marketed as being hand-built in America, it seems that these are largely Chinese parts. The fake Neutrik connectors on the seven-pin cable, carrying the 'Legun' name, are an obvious clue, but so too is the engineering of the metalwork. However, the Chinese have quickly become very skilled microphone-capsule manufacturers, so I wouldn't necessarily hold the source of the components up as a black mark, and Peluso have a fine reputation and a considerable amount of experience in repairing and reworking vintage microphones and capsules — so they should know how to build an accurate-sounding replica!
