I believe the statement was MIG welded, and while I am not knowlegable with the aircraft models you mentioned, I have seen an airfield after sleeping at a Holiday Inn and cannot think of a single MIG welded component. (and yes I am a licensed Aircraft sheetmetal guy)

Also, in the reference to propane tanks, while there are some Mig welded (I believe only the NRC type) the vast majority of them are done with the sub arc process
