What was the fate of the GAT-X103 Buster Gundam?

Dearka's machine the GAT-X103 Buster Gundam. What was the fate of that machine? I know that Rau Le Kleuze's ZGMF-X13A Providence Gundam severely damaged if not crippled the Buster in the final moment's of the war of C.E. 71. But what became of it? Who salvaged it? I know the E.A . was able to obtain it's schematics and combat data due to the fact that the Archangel was able to repossess it and escort it too JOSH-A with Dearka whom at that time was a P.O.W.. And thus the E.A. could create the Verde Buster. But Dearka's machine? What became of it? When the Duel brought it aboard the Archangel after it was crippled by the Providence's what happened it? Did Orb rebuild it and store it for future use like the Freedom was after the war of C.E. 71? Was it re-possessed by ZAFT when Dearka returned to the PLANTS? Or was it returned to the E.A.?

If anyone could help to answer this pickle it could at least set aside some questions of mine.

It used to be mentioned that part of the Junius Treaty was giving back the remaining stolen G-Weapons (presumably in the same way as any POWs, etc.). How that worked when Duel and Buster were in TSA hands at the end of the war is a little odd. Duel one would expect to return to ZAFT with the awkward question of where a Strike shield and rifle came from, Buster...I guess did, but it must have been a hell of a time to do so, being damaged and Dearka considered a traitor. The question as to what the EA would have actually done with a couple worn out GAT-Xs is entirely unanswered as well, since they'd already built new copies of all of them and given them to Phantom Pain anyways.

The AF Developed the Five Original G-units. They did not need anyones help to build new ones. The Original Buster must have been scraped or given back to the AF as it was original theres.
