This is very interesting, but the conspiracy is almost certainly untrue. Titanic and Olympic had a lot of differences between them that wouldn’t be easy to switch. Additionally, the circumstances of the wreak don’t really lend themselves to insurance fraud, there was very little deviation from standard procedures of the time, though those procedures would prove woefully inadequate.
All these points are correct and there exists photos that support that Titanic looked quite different before she set off.
