In a discussion of this very topic some years ago, Dale Brown - always careful about this sort of thing (and pretty everything else, for that matter) - specifically excluded Rossin from the Italian brands sold and painted in the USA by TSD. His understanding was that the TSD Rossins were Rossins through and through. Also, the mark was sold off a couple of times following Marco Rossin's death in the early 90s, and neither the product nor reputation of the brand was ever the same again.
