The thread about Lana prompted me to post this -

Is it known whether the Beach Boys Lana and Farmer's Daughter are the same recordings as the Johnny Dew acetate versions?

It has recently come to my awareness just how much Capitol appears to have wanted to rush out albums and therefore Brian was forced to rehash ideas in order to satisfy the label.

Examples I can think of:
-the above acetate being used;
-the Lonely Sea being used after essentially being an outtake from an earlier album;
-Brian re-visits tracks recorded for other projects as Beach Boys records: Rabbit's Foot / Our Car Club, Big Beat / Do You Remember?

I'm sure there are more examples, these are just off the top of my head.

I guess I'm asking if you think Brian would've cannabilised his own work like that anyway, or whether it was in an effort to provide Capitol with product?

Possibly a bit of both.

Musicians often revisit themes that they've set out previously.  Other ways to treat the themes, melody, etc occur to them. Or they find a new way to complete a fragment that appeared in something else.  But, there was definitely a push from the record company to produce product.

The investigation into the alleged "Johnny Dew" acetate is a huge red herring. More of a red whale, actually.
