Definitely not a shrunken D300. Take one look at the focus mode switch and that is obvious - both the D200 and D300 have C, S, and M options (continuous focus, single focus, and manual focus) while this presents only AF and M options with no differentiation between the continuous and single options.
Honestly I concur with your 'shopped assessment (the flash mechanism does seem subtly off in perspective, and that style of Dx0 badge hasn't been used since the D70) but I don't think the D300 was the base image. Maybe the new D60's press shots were used as a base for this?
