I've worked for product-making companies. It is not that uncommon to not be able to identify the specific source code that a particular build corresponds to. Not all companies use version control; not all companies have processes that assure that they do things in a repeatable way.
Note that the binaries may not have all been built at the same time - you may be pulling libraries from a binary repository. I would consider it highly embarrassing if a project I was involved with got into that situation, but I have absolutely seen projects that did.
[This isn't meant to excuse such errors, but just to say that ineptitude is absolutely as likely an answer as evil intent.
