It’s a different corpse. When you are revived, the dead body comes back to life.
This was shown in a lore entry about a Speaker. Very early on, a Ghost led him to a barn/farm and there it scanned a corpse then started bringing it back.
It was a much slower process. The Speaker actually saw muscle and flesh grow.
I took two things from that. The “replacement” theory with revival doesn’t pan out and the revival process was much weaker back then.
Likely to illustrate either the weakness or learning curve.

[quote]Likely to illustrate either the weakness or learning curve.[/quote] From my understanding it's the difficulty. Closing a single bullet wound and reviving an otherwise perfectly healthy body is going to be quicker/easier than replacing half their body. Along with the zavala bit other good examples would be the uldren/Crow scene and the witch queen teasers on how they recover/reanimate.

The revival process to unknown. Even to the Ghosts. It could of just been that the Ghosts were weak. At that time, the Traveler had just been mortally wounded and driven into a coma. At its weakest. The strength of the Gardner directly impacts the Ghosts. It was noted that post Red War, after the Traveler woke up, the Ghosts became stronger.
