Yes, it was the Czechs; the specific company was Aero Vodochody [0]. I don't know if the technicians who did the reassembly were typical, or outliers.
I don't know if the full story has been published anywhere. I read it in a binder labelled "MiG acquisition" which was on a shelf in the museum's docent lounge, and I've also heard it from several staff members and volunteers. (Sadly, Jim Blue is no longer with us and therefore cannot confirm directly [0].)
