Well, Adrian Newey designed both the road and race versions of the Valkyrie, and he's firmly entrenched with RBR even though he's supposedly semi-retired. I think that says a lot about RBR's involvement with the program.
Or AMR have farmed him out to RBR to have a more direct role in that side of the program.
We also have to remember that it seems like AMR are treating the LMP Hypercar and GT programs as almost totally separate programs. Not just are Multimatic running the Hypercar program while Prodrive still does the GT stuff. Also reflective in sponsor deals, such as the Hypercar program being sponsored by Mobil as lubricants supplier and GTE being sponsored by Total. Not to mention that AMR is one of the few GT programs period that doesn't use Multimatic shocks/dampers, with the GTE cars running Ohlins shocks.
