I have no idea if this will be enough to support the speculation in your mind.
It would really be better if you owned a grayscale Kindle so that you could explore it yourself.
*) Go to current jail break thread.
*) In Step #3, find two spoilers - open your choice.
*) There find a list of firmware images that are used inside of the factory, for Amazon's internal use only.
*) Download a recent version, for a 7th or 8th generation device.
*) From NiLuJe's snapshot thread, download the current build of KindleTool.
*) Unpackage the firmware image with KindleTool.
*) On a Linux machine (other than a Kindle), create or choose a directory to be a temporary mount point.
*) Mount the rootfs.bin (or similar name) file in the unpackaged file tree at the temporary mount point.
*) Browse the file system tree being used on the factory production floor.
And in that tree you will recognize some of the basic tools in an Android system. Ones that are specific and unique to the Android OS and have no use on the Amazon OS.
(Yes, both Android and Amazon operating systems are two different distributions of Linux.)
Note:
This isn't exactly news, it was last discussed here 8 months ago in posts about the contents being found in the factory device's initial firmware images.
Also several times prior to that, when the deleted files found on first release, new models was discussed.
