Yes.  So what if this situation has indeed occurred?

Consider the case with one proxy that receives a v1 trap, converts it
into a v2 trap (adding snmpTrapEnterprise), and passes it on to some
configured destination.
  This happens to be another proxy, that receives the v2 trap, converts
it back into a v1 trap (using the snmpTrapEnterprise varbind) and passes
this on to the final destination.

  What differences (if any) should there be between the original
v1 trap, and the final one?
