Is this the red and silver R4 unit that Obi Wan has on his ship when he investigates Kaminoan cloners?

Only there is nothing in the film about Anakin repairing it:

Quote:
R4-P17 started off as a traditional R4 unit, complete with the characteristic conical head, when she was nearly destroyed in a trash compactor mishap on Gyndine. While inspecting the Jedi customizations of the Delta-7 designs, Anakin Skywalker happened upon the wrecked little droid and rebuilt it. The new R4-P17 sported an R2-series dome and would eventually become the prototype for other integrated droid navigators aboard the Jedi Aethersprite fighters.
Where is this information from? Is it cut from the film, or from a EU novel?
