If the tub and the nose box is the same, Rebellion shouldn't need to do another crash test, unless the rear crash structure needs to be re-crash tested.
Audi had to re-do a crash test when the modified the R18's front end for this season (bodywork mods probably lead to a nosebox change), but there has been nothing said for the rear crash structure, on on the Audi and most LMP1s is different this year.
I think that it's just Oreca is taking forever adapting the car to the AER V6.
