I would expect so - if the thickness of the steel was the same on both sides. But that's the problem. How much steel can the braze joint replace? Not enough in this case.

I really don't want to claim allegiance to any particular hypothesis for the gun in question, but aren't all blown guns the product of "over pressure"? At least, relative to what that particular gun can hold, that is, in fact, absolutely the case. Whether the gun was over charged or the barrel understrength, the result is the same. In this case, there appears to be a plenty of reason to question fault with the gun.

the anomalies with the case simply shows what happens when an a case becomes unsupported (because half the chamber disappeared). So I don't think it is really possible to convict the reload of overcharging.

Just 2 cents from the sidelines.
