Update ...
I contacted the Customer Service Center @ Dodge on their 800 # and after a couple of questions was talking to a Tech in the Escalation Department. I was given a case number and promised a return call with a determination of (did truck leave Dodge) with a catalytic converter, no later than 6PM Eastern on the 22nd.

Regardless of the answer given (was it original equipment) the folks at Cust Serv have made this as painless as possible. They seem to really care and appreciate it is a problem for me so hats off to them. Great customer service.

I will post the answer I get tomorrow by 6PM good or bad for me. Jeff C
